I was very reasonable. I’ve been enjoying Chelsea Morning lately. So, I ordered a few more medium English/Balkan blends, and some blending perique. Pipe cleaners to get me to free shipping.
I.P.S.D. Sales - How dysfunctional Were You?

I just wanted to stock up on some tobacco but everywhere i look seems to be out of things I want. such at 500g packs of marlin Flake or bulk eric stokebye evening flake or other virginia/vaper flakes wessex, F&T and others etc.
Full box of PS luxury navy flake, 2 tins each of Union Square, Escudo, Davidoff Flake Medallions, Chenet’s Cake, Sutliff Crumble Kake #3, and a full 8oz tin of Bayou Morning Flake. Also got an estate Bjarne delivered yesterday. All in all, not bad. I actually held back a bit because I’m traveling this week to scope a tobacconist I’ve not visited before as my own birthday treat to myself.
Alright, I double dipped and ended up at a local b&m and ended up buying a new pipe and a bunch of tobacco. I told myself not to buy a new pipe but it was too damn hard not to.
People love to buy things on sale but sometimes the best pipes show up the day after: Chacom Flame Grain Sandblasted Canadian | Buy Chacom Tobacco Pipes at Smokingpipes.com - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Chacom/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=457177
Might be sacrilegious but I bought cigars ??
About 20 tins in online orders.
A Wizard Cobbitt and another lighter, fluid, 4 rack pipe stand at a B&M I've stopped by a couple of times. Wanted to share the love in local fashion too.
And an online pipe purchase from an independent Canadian artisan I'd seen mentioned here. Hoping that comes through properly, didn't get a tracking # yet...
'Twas my finances that led to a little restraint rather than wisdom.

Funny, my brain initially perceived this as "My fiance led to a little restraint..." I guess it is only one letter off, after all.
I picked up some miscellaneous tins and dozen or so 2oz bulk blends that I have wanted to try. Also snagged a handful of Czech tools and an IM Corona Pipemaster today.
I didn't drop any cash at all?? I made a Italian briar billiard, but unfortunately there was a sand pitting that went right into the chamber, so that one got scrapped... It'll make for good briar dust fill in the future... Then I went back to the bench and made a Mimmo briar Dublin with a mahogany stain and a titanium swirl bent saddle stem. My current dysfunction is I can't stop making pipes, lol! ?
I ended up picking up:
2 Sir Walter Raleigh Regular 7oz tubs
1 Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic 7 oz tub
2 oz 7 Seas Regular
2 oz 7 Seas Royal
2 oz Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match
1 Barbary Coast 2oz tin
2 packs BJ Long Regular Pipe Cleaners
As someone who came to pipe smoking from cigarettes I never really got into aromatics. The only two I tried (early on so I probably didn’t pack/light it right) we’re BCA and 1Q. They both ended up in the trash. I had a pouch of SWRA a few months ago and really liked it so I figured I’d try some of the 7 seas blends as well. Barbary coast will be a first for me as well.

I didn't take advantage of any retail sales but I did win a couple eBay auctions over the weekend.
Landed a '61 Group 3 Shell Briar bulldog for a song.
I've also been wanting a pot for a while now - scored one from Pipestud - an early Comoys Everyman with a neat blast for $60.

Happy belated IPSD, my first! A good friend will be in FLA next week, so I took advantage of the sale at P&Cs and nabbed the following for him to mule back to the land of the oppressive nanny government north of the 49th parallel:
2 x Plum Pudding/Bengal Slices sampler packs
1 x Elizabethan Mixture
1 x Dunhill Early Morning Pipe Tobacco
1 x Mac Baren HH Burley Flake
1 x Presbyterian Pipe Tobacco
Nice little haul for me as I continue to explore the amazing blends that are out there.

For IPSD I needed to re-up on Wilke's Rum & Maple as well as Crystal Palace, so when I learned that Continental was available I put all 3 in a cart this past Saturday and they arrived this afternoon!
Thanks for the rapid processing and delivery @John Brandt

Imagine this:
Buy 5 lbs of your favorite tobacco and Smokingpipes sends the wrong tobacco. They offer a refund BUT 1) the refund no longer will buy 5lbs without the IPSD deal and 2) it's not in stock anyway anymore.

I cannot remember the last time I bought anything to celebrate this holiday.
I never pay attention to the adds for it. I did recently get another pipe commissioned from Jack Howell that was a couple of weeks ago. I have 2 more in his cue which will take a couple of more weeks.
