I Need a Pipe - I Need Help

[thomasw]

With a Custom-Bilt clenched in the mouth, no one has ever had their feral manliness questioned -- I consider that they are the least effeminate pipes a bonus (that chainsaw rustication makes me do a manly growl rather like 'yerrrArrrgh!'). The one I linked seems to be in very good condition, too. BTW you have a great name ::

 

[pipesmokingtom]

BTW you have a great name

As do you!
UNFORTUNATELY, our TV shit the bed last night, so I had to drive to Tacoma to Best Buy a drop some coin on a new one. Goodbye, "extra" money. Thanks for the suggestions, though. When I've got another round of pocket change, I'll have a good idea!

An optimist would say, "Well, the universe just solved the problem for me".

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Oh, it's not a total loss. I can now watch baseball on a 55" Ultra HD screen. Not a bad outcome.

 

[aldecaker]

Nice! Enjoy the new TV, if not a new briar.

 

[bluegrasspipe]

Tom it sounds like you need to get your priorities straight. :lol:

 

[pipesmokingtom]

HAHA!
Well, we can't very well be without a TV. If I had NO pipes and NO TVs, I'd buy a pipe first. As I have many pipes, the TV was the winner this time around.

I almost bought the $40 estate one on SmokingPipes. Went back to get it today and someone snatched it up. haha

 

[weezell]

I was gonna say buy a MM Cob and a pound or 2 of Stokkebye Bulk Pipe Tobaccos... ::

It sucks when your pipe windfall is suddenly needed for the household. Condolences, brother!
Better luck next time... aka don't wait so long to pull the trigger on SOMETHING.
:rofl:

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Dude.. I have so many cobs. At least one of every available shape.
And yes, my procrastination cost me a pipe.

I know all about that. I thought I had a bit of money set aside for a large tobacco order and a new pipe; however, Saturday night my truck broke a rear axle so.....

That Rossi 8320 and Savinelli 320 makes me drool. I see the have a 320 XL with a bigger bowl. I'm saving up my piggy bank for an XL.
But I second the 8320 for under $75. Tell us what you get Tom.

The Fickle Finger of Cosmodic Murphy's Law. Better to have bought the pipe AND THEN scrounge to get a new TV.

 

[jaytex1969]

Well.now you can load up pics of your pipes in 55" HD glory!

I got this one in the one a couple days ago from Marty at Pulvers... more than $75, but a great deal nonetheless...

It's a huge hand cut circle 6 with resin stem. First bowl was a huge bowl of RY.

 

[lasttango]
