So, I put in an order with Smokingpipes.com just to add on to the cellar. Nothing too special. Just some tins of Barbados Plantation (took advantage of the Sutliff sale they had going on), a few tins of Autumn Evening (Autumn is right around the corner, so one can't have too many tins of Autumn influenced tobacco), a bit more Blend For Cary Grant (this is a true favorite of mine. A great crossover aro/english blend for when I can't make up my mind), another 8 oz of Bullseye Flake to add to add to that stash, and of course a couple more tins of Black Frigate (ok... that's something special :mrgreen: ) Most of these blends, I just try to add a couple tins or two whenever I put in an order but I realized I hadn't done that very much on my last few orders, so I'm making up for a few. Barbados Plantation, I had none of.
As usual concerning Smokingpipes, the package arrived with everything wonderfully packed safely and secure in a reasonable amount of time. And as usual, for the most part I'm pleased with their service. Here's the photo of all my goods....
Such a lovely photo, if I do say so myself :D But there's one small issue... You see, when finalizing my order, in the comments section, I wrote "I dare someone to draw me a pipe smoking pirate." Alas, as you can see in the photo above, there is no pipe smoking pirate! I'm somewhat, slightly, a little bit, disappointed. Maybe even a tad bit, tiny bit, sort of kind of sad I was really looking forward to that pipe smoking pirate! Perhaps they drew it, but forgot to add it. The package said, Packed With Care By Josh. Now that name has popped up a few times on my packages and he's never failed to pack anything before.... Josh, did you forget my pirate? Nah. I don't think he did. He's never failed me before. Perhaps there's nobody with the artistic talent at Smokingpipes to draw me a pipe smoking pirate... a stick figure pirate would have sufficed. Or perhaps the "dare" wasn't good enough. Maybe, they only respond to the "double-dare." So next time I order, I will include a double-dare. And if that doesn't work, I will move on to the triple dare... and then perhaps the ever dreadful triple-dog- dare. Triple-dog-dares cannot be denied :nana:
Note: Anyone is free to try the double dare, triple dare, and triple-dog-dare for a pipe smoking pirate drawing on their Smokingpipes.com orders until they finally comply :mrgreen:
