Post Christmas PAD and TAD!

[collin]

Dang it,....I swore to myself I was going to wait a while after the Holidays before succumbing to PAD or TAD.
I didn't make it guys, I'm weak.
I pulled the trigger on a Savinelli Churchwarden and a tin of Burley London Blend .
It was the last churchwarden in stock, so photos to come in a few days.
*sigh*

Don't feel like the Lone Stranger Tommy.

I didn't pick up a pipe, but I did snag a pound of 1Q, 1/2 LB. of PS Bulls Eye Flake and a Tin of Sasieni Balkan, yesterday as well. :D

Gotta go watch the OU game.

Good luck to your boys next week!

Thank you Tommy.

Your boys look like they're doing all right.

Which churchwarden did you get? I have a 401 which I love. I recently found that mine needs to be smoked even slower than I had been to keep it from gurgling.

Don't beat yourself up over it! I've picked up a couple additional estate pipes over the past couple weeks as well (and still have my eye on another)!
Picked up a Kaywoodie Colt Yacht mid-December and a Sasieni 4 Dot Bulldog the day after Christmas!

This is all an amalgamation of enablers!.....I love it....I really do!.... :D

It is okay Tommy, we all give into the TAD and PAD at some point!! Congrats on the pick ups!

Look at all those PRETTY pipes!!!!!!!!!! Smell all that wonderful tobacco!!! Just imagine having all that stashed away at home! OK I admit to being an enabler !

You're a big help, Uncle Arthur!! :mrgreen:
Here's a picture of one I pulled the trigger on.

I've been wanting a Savinelli for some time now, and needed a pipe with a medium-sized fresh bowl that I can dedicate to burleys.

Such deal I could make.......................... Ummmm Nevermind! LOL

I'm completely in love with churchwardens, great pick up Tommy. I thought you guys would know, what is a good churchwarden that wont break the bank? I see a lot of 'em for 120 and up, but thats just too much money for me.

Hi Red!

I have a couple of suggestions for scratching that warden itch.

I swapped a pound of 1Q for a Missouri Meerschaum Churchwarden, it is a truly great smoker.

Be that as it may....
I was desperate for a Dunhill Churchwarden in my youth. Couldn't swing $650, so this is what I did.
I bought 3 good looking basket pipes (over time), then I sent them off to have churchwarden stems put on.

I have had them for many years and they really smoke well.

You might try that. Total cost for each maybe 30 bucks.

Thanks to ALL of you, I splurged! jeesh, I was sitting around in that cabin looking and reading on here every dang day! At the same time, I purchased online, a Brandy shape from a German pipemaker. I also purchased an Eric Andersen pot, both on the way. Won a little pipe rack on an auction site. On the way. And still got the highest bid going on a vintage pipe ashtray and another little pipe rack. Good God O molly, sorry fellas,For the time being, I'm putting the brakes on this PAD! Ya bunch of meanies! :P
