I Hope in 2021, I Will... (Pipe Related)

[Casual]

I would like to be able to explore more Gawith blends without committing much time to a hunt.

 

[edger]

I hope every member on this forum acquires a Falcon pipe and loves it.

 

[rajangan]

I hope someone finally fills me in on what PAD & TAD stands for.

 

[wyfbane]

I hope to get around to smoking my pipe more. I also hope to get off my butt and sell some of the pipes and tobacco I don't want anymore.

You and me both!

Casual, a dreamer is a beautiful thing.

 

[wyfbane]

I hope to find a job, preferably in TN soooo

I can buy some more tobacco before the deeming kicks in.

 

[mtwaller]

I hope I’m able to afford to keep cellaring, and to buy my first artisan pipe.

 

[trouttimes]

I hope I can learn to tolerate Haunted Bookshop since I have 6 tins of the stuff.

 

[ashdigger]

I want two things. 1. Peace on Earth. 2. People will stop shit talking Granger.

Looks like I’m going 0 for 2

 

[cshubhra]

1. Buy exactly two showstopper pipes for 2021
2. Maintain my cellar at the target range (45 - 50 lbs)

Cut my number of pipes down to two or three. Too much clutter.

 

[wordheavy]

I just want a few quiet moments to enjoy the tobaccos I've acquired.

Well if you ever want to get rid of this one:

I really hope to find pipe deals in the New Year.

I’d like to own more of the bigger names in pipes, but prices in the upper hundreds can be hard to justify, unless you have money.

My wish also for the New Year is that every pipe smoker reads the article by Dr. Fred Hanna; ‘The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking’

Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipe Smoking

Also the SPC article on Dr. Hanna.

Meet Fred Hanna, Doctor of Pipes | Smokingpipes.com

Read our interview with Fred Hanna, Doctor of Pipes and author of Pipe focused books such as <em>The Perfect Smoke</em>.

I also wish in the New Year for greater company/carver consumer transparency, with information companies and carvers will share, as to why their pipes merit the high costs they want us to pay. As pipe smokers we need more companies and carvers transparent, on what makes their pipe worth the costs they ask.

Cut my number of pipes down to two or three. Too much clutter.

Dunhull cough cough wink wink.... LOL

Happy Puffing & Happy New Year!

 

[Lawyer66]

I hope to gain more experience in pipe smoking. I would also like to read more while I smoke my pipe.

 

[musicman]

I hope to:
a. Pick up my first Castello
b. Finally get my hands on some Ennerdale.
c. Hone my smoking technique so that I can finally taste the nuances in aromatics.
d. Meet a forum member or three.

In case I do, that one has a heavy aromatic ghost and doesn't pass pipe cleaner. Usually I just throw out pipes that have fallen into disuse.
