Australia's pipe smokers could be next.

It has become evident to me... that smoking including pipe smoking is doomed... with all the posts we have seen just in this forum in the last few weeks.. the writing appears to be on the wall.... to that end.. I have decided to get out while the getting is good...
I have 48 pipes and around 18lbs of various pipe tobacco's for sale......
First.. $250,000 takes it all..........

No No NO Bowhatchie! I don't know you personaly but it sucks to lose a pipe brother. Just increase some of your baccy load and what happens happens, you still got plenty to smoke. Honestly, what I've been reading has depressed me to some deep lows myself regarding the same.. I'm also kicking my own rear end cause I have not been listening to wiser individuals on this forum who advise to buy tobacco instead of pipes. Come next payday that is going to change on my part. I'm going to develope a "bunker" mentality and focus on only tobacco buying. I really don't have much of other hobbies (that cost money) and I do not drink or go to bars etc. Thats why I have been able to accumulate a pretty nice and small pipe collection pretty fast. Now I have to move beyond that and zero in on tobacco. Ok, I'm starting to ramble.. I really hope you reconsider and that NOBODY takes your offer, sorry. I like knowing your here and a brother of the briar.

LOL - I wouldn't be too worried there Briar, seeing as Bow is asking $3788.00 USD per pipe or per pound of tobacco...

bowhatcie, it's April 7! Not April 1

Besides, that way too low, hold out for more.

That's completely ridiculous what they are doing in Oz.

Briar Bully, you are getting the idea now! Buy tobacco not pipes!! (well buy pipes also :D ) Crazy stuff going down these days.... its a sad sad world us pipe smokers are living in...

The Aussies are a great culture and I truly feel sympathy for their smokers. Winfield cigarettes used to have a great spokesman in Paul Hogan no less. It's seems like many anti smoking cultures their individual liberties are being steadily eroded.

Buy tobacco! Buy pipes from your friendly neighborhood pipe carving nut!

At least they aren't making it illegal, do what they want to the silly packaging
