Someone's Trying to Lure Me Back

[Waning Embers]

These arrived with no return address. Judging by the stickers in the cases and very faint stem logos one is a Baki and the other a pre 2015 IMP.

I hope whoever it is that the gesture works.
I miss you man

Great pipes for a great man.

I'm still here just no interest in smoking pipes. They are a nice size though.

 

[Olkofri]

Someone's really following you.

We all are embers, we all are. Despite the Squibbles and squabbles and bad days, it’s still a nice place and embers is an important part of it. One of my favorites on here!

There's only a handful of folks here with my real name and address, not the pseudonyms and P.O. Boxes I use for ordering. I think I may know who did it I'm just waiting for the guilty party to chime in.

I'll be around until my doctor's predictions come to fruition but actually smoking pipes is in my rear view.

That is quite a surprise!

If you don’t mind my asking, are you having health challenges or are you just referring to when your doctor says “if you don’t quit, you’re going to…”?

The pattern on the one on the right looks very similar to the one I just picked up.

So, I take it you have or will sell that 400+ pound cellar of yours?

Yes

Nothing smoking related, but hereditary. I've left pipes for RYO and chewing tobacco.

Much of it has been converted to RYO, snuff, and chew. Whatever's left when I'm gone will just be tossed.

The classic teardrop lattice. My favorite finish for meerschaum.

Those are some great looking pipes, btw.

They are extremely nice collectibles but I've no intention of starting back. I do very much appreciate the gesture though. I'm considering letting my youngest daughter use them in her shadow box hobby.

Your comment on the lattice teardrop sounds like the "siren's call" is ringing in your ears.

Even if you never smoke another pipe.... it is still a very nice gesture for someone to make.

Hell, I'd be touched if someone sent me a box of Swisher Sweets....

I had a few of them even a couple of hollow ones. I never really liked smooth pipes and preferred sandblasted briar and teardrop lattice meerschaums. I haven't smoked a pipe since March and really feel no inclination to do so. I've got a feeling that my daughter is going to work some magic using them in her art.

Yes

Praying for you Embers ! ... because it works !

Maybe you can prove them wrong just for principle ... or at least blow their stats out of the water !

Sincere best wishes.
