PAD & TAD Strike

[onizuka]

Well guys, it's official. I'm sitting here patiently waiting for 3 new pipes, some pipe tools, and some tobacco. I hope this has fed the monster for some time.
I'll post up some pictures when it gets here.

Nice. It feels good doesn't it?

 

[onizuka]

Feels good for me, not for my wallet, lol. $200 gone!

 

[hauntedmyst]

I'm in the same situation! 2 of them are coming from England and its taking longer than normal. It must be pipe buying season lately

 

[duncan]

Ah the little gremlin strikkes again!

 

[unclearthur]

Just sent out nearly 200 to my various ebay sellers! There is no cure!

You know, it seems strange when there is NOT some pipe or tobacco in the pipeline on its way to me.....sort of an emptiness that is only resolved by feeding the PAD and/or TAD gremlin once more.

I've bought no less than 12 pipes in the last two weeks.
No kidding.

Two were new Petersons, one was a new Stanwell, and the rest were either freshly re-furbished or "project pipes".

 

[unclearthur]

Collin, are we distant cousins? That's about how many I have in the pipeline right now.

Now we just need a way to win the lottery to keep funding our TAD and PAD. I am slowly depleting my savings. I hope that I can sell some of my project pipes.

The way I feed my PAD is by buying old taty pipes and then selling them on, nice and fresh and polished. Sometimes I even keep a few, I'd say the good one's but there are no such thing as a bad pipe... just some that are better than others. By selling them it gives me the ability to buy some more and every day the postie knocks on the door (which is most days) it's Christmas Day.

 

[onizuka]

Oh man, this is bad. My stuff is coming from NY, all the way from the other coast. It won't be here until the 18th. I'm patiently waiting at my doorstep like an animal.

 

[unclearthur]

Don't ya hate standing by the mail box doing the pee pee dance?

 

[onizuka]

1 of the new pipes is here!

 

[unclearthur]

Very nice for sure!

 

[bubbadreier]

Nevermind, it is a Savinelli Tundra 699! It is a very pretty pipe, congrats!

 

[pstlpkr]

Very nice birds eyes Onizuka, the panels really reveal the grain.
Good git!

 

[python]

That is a very nice looking pipe, I like it a lot!

 

[onizuka]

It's finally here, after 1 week of patiently waiting.
First up is the assortment of pipe cleaners and czech tools.

This is the fun part.

Two tins of CAO Cherry Bomb, which I have Bob to thank, the Kool-Aid comment made me instantly click purchase. Sillem's Black, which I've heard interesting things about. 2 Missouri Meerschaum Ozark Hardwood Cherry Bent Pipes, Altadis Frosty Mint, Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular, Lane Limited 1Q, and C&D Nutty Irishman. Let me tell you guys - this box smelled so sweet and wonderful, I can't wait to break it in.
