Losing Track of your Pipes

[Winnipeger]

By the way, the Peterson Belgique is a nice little pipe. I have the rusticated version, and for a short smoke, or a longer smoke with flake, plug, or rope, and for sampling or testing extra strong tobacco, it's just the ticket. Most pipes are of a size to be misplaced without some attention to them, so I don't think the Belgique is any more loss prone than other pipes. I like a range of sizes in pipes. Each has their purposes.

I can lose things, but my wife is more prone to misplace her address book, glasses, keys, etc., and considers me a pretty good finder. Usually, I'm just helpful, but occasionally I'm pure magician.

I usually lose track of the Belgique just because I smoke it more than my other pipes for all the reasons you stated above. Plus it's light, effortless to clench, good for a quick smoke, or while doing yard work, etc. It's my utility pipe. Also, I got mine cheap. (SP must have accidentally priced it at 50% off because it was only $38 dollars new.) It's my most used and abused pipe for sure. I've burned a lot of Dark Birdseye and Kendal Kentucky in it.

Anyway, it'll turn up.

Turning the place upside down for the one unsmoked Bruce Weaver pipe I was to sell on the forums.
Damn, only 50 boxes and 1499 pipes to go and messing up the place. I kid you not.

Can't say that's happened to me. I have pipes specifically for my truck, then I have all my other pipes. If I'm not smoking them, they're either on my smoke table waiting to be packed, or on the rack.
Hope ya find it.

I recently lost my Czech, that was an insult all by itself. The last thing I lost was a wallet with 30 Eurobucks in it, when I was about 14 years old. I might lose anything including my life but I'll never lose a pipe, no matter how cheap it was.
I might handle and break them like the brute I am but I'll never lose 'em. I'll take them all the way down to my grave and I'll smoke them long atfer I have gone. That much I know.

Never lost a pipe. Stays in the rack or in my hand.

FOUND IT! Sitting on top of one of my audio monitors in my office studio. I guess I must've put it there for some unfathomable reason.

This week, I also found a full box of blending tobaccos that I'd misplaced at least a year ago. I'd been deliberately searching for it for months. The jars were in an open flat with another box full of cabinet hardware sitting on top of them. How clever of me (?). I was starting to think I had gremlins in the house, but, as always, the gremlin is me (probably combined with a good dose of Bourbon).

Now I can compare the C&D Dark Burley from around 3 years ago with the recent production. I'd given up on finding that box and ordered another 4 ounces of that one. The new batch tastes pretty different. Glad to have my Izmir back too!!! Finally finding that box was like an early Christmas gift. What joy!

I left a pipe in a company vehicle and got it returned the next day.

It's not gremlins, it's Bad Dobby .
So better keep an eye on your socks too
Our Dobby probably got my BW pipe.

I'm sure your Weaver will magically appear as soon as you stop looking for it @orlandofurioso. Or maybe not. Have you tried calling its name? Helps when I lose my keys.

I think my sock problem has more to do with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Hoping Santa will bring me a new pair for Christmas.

Never lost a pipe. They usually stay in their boxes if I’m not smoking those particular ones, my pipe rack on the wall or my little 4 pipe stand on the bookshelf. However I’m still waiting for my 1st Edition Holographic Machamp Pokemon card to show up after losing it at a roller rink night in 5th grade.

Glad it finally turned up for you!

I wish some one would invent a small tracker for pipes, my misplaced cell phone is often found by the wife calls.

So, we all think we have problems.... we don't have problems. I first heard this when I was about 12 years old.
