My Last Pipe

[anotherbob]

I did think about that route. I understand you can get custom carved meers from some places...that might be something worth looking into.

yeah you can send them a pic of me and they'll carve that into a meer for you.

Reminds me of my former in-laws deciding the van they bought would be their last.

I'll keep that in mind ? But I was thinking my Schipperke would make a handsome pipe.

I love my Falcons. Three stems, 10 bowls including a block meerschaum. The std bowls are nice, but I’m partial to the Bantams. I sip so I can get an hour out of the Bantams.
Get a Falcon. No oxidized stems, easy to clean, light weight, and you’ll look like a working class Brit. What’s not to like?

I have to admit I thought about getting one of my cat. Though as always Ed Asner would be a great choice. That or Don Rickles.

And they smoke great. The design means you can keep smoking them one pipe after another if you just wipe out the humidome. The Briar will be pretty much dry. They're great pipes and although they're my least favorite of my pipes they're dollar to joy ratio is the highest. I feel like every pipe I've bought is worth the price except the Falcon I feel like they under charge for those.

I don't like Falcons at all, and it's all a matter of aesthetics to me. So, carry on! Smoke what you like!
(Mixed finishes on houses, mixed panels on cars, multiple media styles on anything just are not my cuppa, no matter how much sense they make engineering wise.

Something about collars and cuffs matching (old James Bond reference) has always resonated with me for some reason in many different contexts.

I'll be turning the big 50 soon, and I've decided to buy one last pipe, and then concentrate on tobacco and smoking.

If it were me I’d commission a custom pipe seeing as it’s the last one. And I wouldn’t skimp on what I wanted either. Just saying. YMMV.

You turn 50 only once
It IS a significant event.

I agree with @verporchting. Go all out.
Get THAT pipe you've always wanted.

And don't forget to post what you decide on getting

why do people push the boundries? No talking about religion here dude. (sorry sorta an inside joke, for people who grew up here in the 90s)

 

[weezell]

I vote yes on the Falcon ? ...

I'm afraid I don't know that joke, but I certainly do love Don Knotts...he was one of a kind ?

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

I'll just say it, Don Knotts is my all time favorite comedic actor on TV and nobody comes close. Just typing his name has all sorts of scenes from The Andy Griffith Show coming to mind and making me smile! Don't know why his name came up, but thanks!

It's a reference to a prank pulled by some local students. They pretended basically to be members of a cult that worshiped Don Knots. Oh and it was mostly about trolling the Willard Preacher. IF you know who he is then it becomes funny. If you don't he would basically argue with anyone and just as likely to have atheists as Christians argue with him. Atheists where like you're an idiot and christians where like you're an idiot who makes us look bad. Fun stuff basically.

 

[leonardbill1]

I've lost count of the number of times I've said that's the last pipe that I'm going to buy.

 

[MacMarty89]

You’re going to buy your last pipe now you turn Abraham?

HAHAHA.

Will see.

The preacher part sounds vaguely familiar. But you'll be happy to know that Don is not my dream pipe ? I wonder what it would cost to get a pipe carved MT Rushmore style with the faces of the 4 "Three Stooges"(Everyone but Joe and Curly Joe DeRita)?
