I Hit The Pipe Mother Load (Huge Pic Hoard)

[dread]

That is fantastic and truly cosmic justice because you are one generous piper!

 

[antbauers]

That's awesome. No doubt you deserve it. Great shapes also! I'm truly happy for you.

 

[petes03]

Wow Dave, that is amazing! And it couldn't happen to a better guy. Congrats!

 

[lonestar]

That, Sir, is a fine set of pipes!

 

[tuold]

I also have to say your father in law is the greatest! If that happened to me it would make 35 years of marriage worth it all. :D

 

[philobeddoe]

Congratulations, and as others have said....it truly could not have gone to a better guy, your generosity to our community is well known, karma indeed!

 

[newbroom]

For sure these pipes are a treasure. They look to be in excellent condition. The background story of you're having endured the loss of your pipe collection and this unexpected bonanza gifted to you by you Father in Law make for a truly heart warming and humorous happy 'ending'...Great stuff!
The relationship is more the treasure, and you're lucky Pops loves you like that.

Man, this made me smile on this dark and drizzly day - you're Pa-in-Law is quite the fella.
Wholeheartedly agree with Fnord on this. Well done!
The Ben Wade is exceptional and the standout of the lot for me - I know, I know - what about the Dunnies? Yep, they're great - But that Ben Wade is quite breath taking - I hope it, and the others, brings you a lifetime of pleasure.

Awesome classic collection! Congrats, it will great to see the refurbishment of these fine pipes.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Very cool!! +1 on seeing these refurbished.

 

[voorhees]

Wow. Once in a lifetime event. Your FIL did very well. Love that 1971 Poker. Ever want to sell I'd be interested. My birth year.

That round rack alone is gorgeous, but the pipes...I'm gobsmacked. The haul of a lifetime. My heartiest congratulations to you.

 

[patiobum]

Good for you !! Some very nice pipes !!

 

[hiplainsdrifter]

Lucky!

 

[PlanxtyPipes]

Unreal. Congratulations! Getting even one Dunhill would be a dream come true for many people. You got 8! And all of them are older than I am. Not to mention a whole bunch of other fantastic pipes. That's got to be the best estate score I've seen.

 

[gregprince]

I would say it was the haul of a lifetime, but most of us will never see such a haul. Congratulations and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. My suggestion, don't look a karma gift in the mouth (I know, mixed metaphor). In other words, use and enjoy - they were meant to come to you.

Congratulations Dave! As everyone has said you deserve them my friend. Pipes have a way of finding their way to the right people. They found their way to you and I know of no one on this forum who deserves them more. Enjoy my friend.
8 Duhills!!! :worship: :worship: :worship:

[portalhq]

What a beautiful collection! Congratulations.

 

[tobyducote]

Wow what a wonderful collection and amazing gift from your father in law

 

[bulldogbriar89]

congratulations good sir, that is quite a haul you got their, I am always happy to hear of good fortune of other pipe smokers, wether they were gifted a tin or a pipe ( or a hoard of pipes), or found a great deal on a great pipe. Enjoy them all and smoke them all well.
