New Year's Pipe Resolution

[reloader]

Let's hear if you have any New Year's resolutions pertaining to pipes and tobacco.
Ie.
"I want to acquire more tobacco this year"
"I have too many pipes and won't buy any this year"
"I want to try new blends"

You get the idea.

For me its wanting to slow down my cadence even more. When I first joined the forum I smoked ferociously. I loved smoking a pipe and would smoke as many bowls as possible during our daily happy hour. I just wanted to get as many bowls and blends down as possible. I've slowed down and enjoyed each blend over the past year or so. I'd like to hone my technique even more and enjoy each and every puff as much as I can. I've gleaned so much from all the members here that has aided me in my overall experience and am forever thankful.

Don't have any. Trying to cut down on unnecessary stresses.

I want to try and post in the WAYS threads a bit more. It's tough keeping up on that one but that's my goal.

I get that. If you are off for a day or two there could be 12 pages to sift through. I only post about a third of the pipes i smoke in the WAYS thread. To busy smoking to post and don't like to use my phone to do it, so I just wait until I'm back inside with my laptop to post anything.

Well last year my resolution was to not buy any new factory pipes, and I was successful. All artisan made pipes made it into my lofty rotation. This year, my resolution is to make at least one pipe a month, and start expanding my shaping skills.

I need to sell some pipes. I have no problems acquiring pipes, but can't seem to let any go...

I will sell some pipes this year on a net basis . That is my resolution . I have an aversion to getting rid of pipes .

There are no rules or standards for that thread. Jump in and post what you're smoking any time you feel like it.

1. Post in WAYS
2. Maybe start my first thread (other than my intro from years ago). Rule #9 is a tough one to master it seems.
3. Add my pipes to the “show us your” threads.
4. Break into my cellar stash of “oldies” more.
5. Go to a pipe show and meet some of you curmudgeons In person.

Lot of hard work, think I can pull it off.

I resolved to NOT buy any pipes.

I also resolved not to listen to that drunk guy and scored two Petes today.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Too much of everything. The only pipes coming my way are an Ali commission and my annual two J. Everett holiday pieces.

 

[ThermionicScott]

I don't think my PAD or TAD need any encouragement, and I'm trying not to alarm my wife with how much more I've been smoking lately.

But, I'd say that this year I will continue educating my palate and trying new blends. This forum has put a lot of things on my radar that I either didn't know about or wouldn't have considered before.

Please keep listening to that drunk guy! He’s putting bread on my table

My resolution is to sell something I carve…most probably to the aforementioned drunk guy.

I will not buy any pipes in 2023. I'll be strictly focusing on tobacco. The pipe that arrives next week doesn't count. It was shipped in 2022. And it was a trade.

 

[DanWil84]

Since I commited to one pipe this year I will only buy tobacco. I'm not opening anything from my cellar this year as I have plenty of jars of test blends and gifts from the fine people on this forum open to last me 2023. If I do have to open something it will be a test blend again. What my aim is to see if any of those test blends is cellar worthy and build a shallow and broad "cellar". I'm smoking about about kilo (or little over 2 pounds for you imperialists) of tobacco a year so even buying 5 kilos for the cellar in 2023 will last me a long time.

 

[kcghost]

I guess I don't have any other than I hope the doctor does demand I quit smoking,

 

[OzPiper]

Since I have @60 tins/pouches open (not counting samples I have been gifted), I will open another tin/pouch only when one is finished

Pretty much this. Smoke slower and smoke better.

 

[UncleRasta]

I would like to:
focus more on a few blends.
Keep improving cadence
stop smoking rollies

Don't break any clay pipes
