I Saw a Unicorn

[americaman]

I work at a drugstore and we got one. He comes in and buys a few pouches of captain black and a few boxes of AyC Grenadiers. He's always incredibly happy.

Now that you mention that, it is quite interesting the Rite Aid near my Mom’s house here in California sells pipe tobacco. There must be a market of some sort. There is a cigar lounge in that shopping center, so maybe there are some low key pipe smokers around the area as well.

Another sighting this morning, in the Littleton, CO Costco parking lot, wearing a broad-brimmed hat while leaning against his pickup truck, smoking a no-name full-bent apple pipe filled with MacBaren Black Ambrosia (I think)...he was a doppelgänger for @trouttimes!
I didn't have time to visit with him, the only Unicorn that I have spotted in the Denver area, as my wife had an appointment. Like a Unicorn, he had vanished when I returned an hour later.

I thought you might have seen esoterica tobaccos for sale somewhere.

i'll just keep on waiting.

Another reason I really like this site, great humor!

Sorry but wasn't me. I don't go into the big town if I don't have to. Too many people for my liken. Must have been a handsome man if you thought it was me ???

Saw a mean looking guy wheel into a gas station a few months ago. Had what looked like a Peterson 312 hanging. Gave me a dirty look as he passed by, perhaps because I was staring too intently. Thought maybe it was one of youse guys. Wouldn't it be funny if the only guys we ever saw smoking in the wild were already here on this forum?

I must be the last unicorn in my corner of the shire , no other recent sightings of my unicorn pipe smoking brethren

I was in a Reno casino just prior to the outbreak, smoking at a bar table on the edge of the gaming floor with a drink. A cowboy straight out of central casting walked past, nodded and said "Very cool" then kept on walking. At least three other people made positive comments, including one rather cute thing.

I found it quite amusing.

I saw one today in the mirror just after waking up......terrifying.?

Hoy vi uno en el espejo justo después de despertarme ... aterrador.?

Every now and again I see someone driving with a pipe hanging in the jaw. I'll be glad when this pandemic is in the rear view mirror. Really want to share and smoke with like minded pipers again. May start a club in the metro Detroit area.

Friend told me about a time in a local pub there was an old cat enjoying his pipe with a proper pint of Guinness watching the Rays kick the ass of whomever they were playing. A young 20-something with long scraggly hair, a wifebeater shirt and oversized flip-flops approached the old gentleman. The sub-millennial commented that the piper looked like a 'fu**ing dignified cool dude'! I would have paid to see that!

BTW - yeah, we still can smoke pipes & cigars in most of the pubs here in west-central Florida!

Go to Central Kentucky. Smokers of all kinds abound unharassed and unashamed. My company alone is 60% smokers and six, including myself, are pipe smokers.

wow. I work with one guy that smokes a pipe sometimes. Sometimes...

Few and far between we are, build our numbers we must. For the fate of a dying lifestyle is afoot.
Accept and nurture any who dare to dip their toes in our pond. This is our calling!

Must be great to fart rainbows.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

I didn't believe they existed. I've never seen another pipe smoker in real life.

a pipe smoker is a unicorn . No ?
