I Love Smoking Pipes Dot Com, But What a Let Down

[gwtwdbss]

I really don't know what went wrong. But no Stonehaven for me. Just another 2 bags of Penzance in the cellar that I hardly smoke anymore. I thought their real-time inventory was decent but this email came as a shock to me and a real bummer.
Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, we have sold out of the small shipment of Stonehaven

that we received. We do have the Penzance and the Navigator however.

The Stonehaven is back into a backorder status with the distributor so

we do not know when to expect the new shipment in. Would you like to

make another selection or have me cancel and refund for that for you?

Thats funny stuff right there. If you cant laugh at that you just need to get on outta here.
Sorry about your luck though. I guess since Ive not tried it yet I dont know what Im missing.

Come on guys. There are soooo many great Virginia flakes out there to enjoy. It's sad that some got shut out of the latest shipment but luckily we have many other choices available. Stock up now my friends before the tax man strikes again!

 

[docwatson]

Oh, yea

I have plenty of mixture 79 stashed away. Just for emergency use of course!! :rofl:

 

[gwtwdbss]

Lol, I gotcha Doc. I really don't know why I mess with Esoterica anymore. I thought I had a pound of Stonehaven coming, but your right, plenty of other blends out there that are just as good if not better.

:laughat:

What am I supposed to do,smoke cigars like that fat b**tard Churchill?

 

[cdsmith]

ODF is soooooo much better than stonehaven, IMO.

That Downfall gag makes me laugh every time, now with tobacco! After seeing, what, hundreds of these send ups, I finally watched the real movie last month. It was pretty good, the wife even stopped and started watching it with me.

Gwtwdbss:
I got a similar email, although the news was better: I'd ordered two bags of Stonehaven, but they were only able to ship one.
Yes, there are lots of other Virginia/burley flakes out there, and I've personally only just begun to scratch the surface. But Stonehaven truly is something remarkable in this category. I haven't come across any other flakes yet that can compare in terms of smoothness and mellow richness.

I've seen that Hitler video subtitled with so many different rants on other websites that I've lost track. That however was one of the best. Very well done to whoever created it :rofl:
I can buy you a pouch of Mixture 79 if you need it.

 

[rondyr]

There's a Hitler 'Downfall' rant for every occasion!!

Sorry, not to appear dense, me being a film major and all, but what is the title of the movie and is it on Netflicks?

Der Untergang (Downfall)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/

Netflix won't even show me its selection so I don't know if it's there or not.

 

[martiniman]

Brilliant :clap:

Der Untergang (Downfall)l is available on Netflix Streaming service. It is only available in the native German language but it does have subtitles.

Excellent - I haven't seen that movie for years but your contribution was pricelessly entertaining to those in the pipe world...

:laughat:

What am I supposed to do with 1000 pipe cleaners and no f-ing tobacco? Clean my ass with them!

Gwtwdbss:
Thank you for sharing that brilliant send up from "Downfall." My sons and I watched the actual film over a year ago and it still pops up in our conversations when the talk turns to movies. It really made an impression on us.
However, this was one spoof they didn't get. My kiddos prefer the occasional cigar and don't appreciate my frustration tracking down a "short supply" tobacco.
Best laugh I've had in days, friend.

I would say it is definitely pipe specific humour, fnord!

 

[cortezattic]

That video always cracks me up. So true, so true. :rofl:

 

[rlunderhill]

:crying: That was a sweet video. I never laughed so hard in day's. I was crying for the guy. Been there...
