Guilty Pleasure

[SSGT.]

A Deacon in or church passed away a couple of months back, and since I smoked a pipe this morning his widow presented me with five unopened tins of his tobacco that her son didn't want be cause it was "too old". He took all of his Dads pipes and most of the tobacco but left 1 tin of Christmas Cheer from 1994, 2 tins of Frog Morton 2017 and 2 tins Mc Clelland #27 2016. I tried to explain what she had and told her I would pay her for them but she would have non of it, told me to enjoy.

Well done! Extra donation to church?

You might contact the son for any deals on the really old pipes!

Just tell him they are probably "too old" to be smoked .

if you feel like you should pay then why not just give what you would have paid her to an appropriate charity something you'd think the deacon would have supported. Seems like one way to make things on level.
Nice haul either way.
