Signs of a Pipe aholic

[danielplainview]

Sign you are a pipe aholic:

When you see a pipe tamper instead of a golf tee.

 

[cortezattic]

The idea behind the current cartoon.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

When your budget for tobacco is just worked into your monthly, like a car payment or utilities.

........when a pipe shows up in the mail that you forgot you purchased.

Damn I hate it when that happens!! ::

 

[papipeguy]

......when your pipes become a codicil in your will.

 

[mcitinner1]

When you can't fit your latest order in your

roll top desk.
tinner :?

When you have a spreadsheet of the different things you have told your significant other as to where packages containing pipe related materials have come from. The spreadsheet keeps you from repeating the same excuse and getting busted. My most recent stretch of the truth involved the wonderful generosity of all the awesome people on this forum so kindly donating a pound of ODF to me for nothing other than the exchange of brotherly friendship on the internet. The actual culprit was the P&C 20% off extravaganza. And i was razor close to clicking "add to cart" on either a tim thorpe or russ cook piece of smoking art.

When the mail carrier suggests to your wife that someone in the house has "a problem".

 

[huntertrw]

When you cease introducing yourself by name at the local B&M pipe-shop, and instead simply say, "I'm a friend of Bowl" while glancing around furtively.

 

[sparrowhawk]

You have a bowl in bed after sex.

 

[danielplainview]

When you don't have a Facebook account but surf the pipe forum at work all day.

 

[dwt63]

You guys just gave away all my secrets. I hope my wife doesn't read this thread.

"You have a bowl in bed after sex."
This comment brings to mind one of the world's older jokes:
Physician to a patient whom he was counseling in cessation: "Do you smoke after sex?"
Patient: "I don't know, I never looked!"

 

[weezell]

When you can't fit your latest order in your

roll top desk.

Look at my avatar...truer than you think about not fitting...

 

[torque]

When you know which isle the canning jars are located on IN EVERY STORE IN TOWN!!!

 

[condorlover1]

When you spend 18% of the week sending little boxes to people containing Condor wondering if you will ever get that seat on the board of directors of the Condor Tobacco Company!

 

[hawke]

When you sort your unknown brand bag of pipe tobacco out in size chunks.

Partial flake

Medium ribbons

Fine ground (for top off of a bowl)
And when you read this you think, "Hey that's not a bad idea!"

 

[condorlover1]

@Hawke what in gods name are you smoking there?

 

[hawke]

Hahahahaha, Well I assure you its not Condor! A fellow chap from the forum here who shall remain nameless(unless he wants to spill the beans) offered 2 pounds of unknown assorted tobaccos to the first responder provided they pay shipping. That happened to be me and tipped him mildly. They are all quite decent tobaccos but Im hung on this one batch I find very interesting. I believe it to be a dark Virginia and quite possibly McClelland No. 2010 Classic Virginia or McClelland No. 2015 Virginia Flake and Perique. I separated out a jar for aging and began smoking up the rest as an in-between of my "John Bull + 30% Blending Latakia" and some Lane IQ and some other mild aromatic tobaccos. I like the way the larger flakes burn(so cool) and so I wanted savor them alone. Therefore the sorting of that bag. Ive already gifted out some of the tobacco. Its good to have such to throw in with a trade to a fellow traveler in the pipe clouds.
You want some CondorMan?

No doubt about that!
You've done more extensive marketing than the company itself does!
You're a shoe-in for this job,
