On New Years Eve I posted a picture of my new (to me) meerschaum pipe. I described how I did a small modification of the pipe and that it felt good to have a small win like that as the past year had been a tough one for numerous reasons.
Another member of our forum saw that and reached out to me to offer a tamper that he thought would match well with my new pipe. It was a gift that was intended to begin the new year on a positive note.
I had honestly forgotten about the whole thing, until a mysterious box showed up at my house. Upon opening the box, I saw that there was a meerschaum tamper inside!
However, there was more. Like three fresh tins of tobacco!
It really made my day, and I won’t mention the generous member by name (I don’t know if he wanted this to be public) but I am very grateful. Not just for the “stuff” but for the act of generosity and kindness. What a forum! I hope to find a nice way to repay this at some point.
Anyway, enough blabbing, here is the picture of the tamper and tins I received with my two meerschaums (both estate purchases, I bought them at the same time). I have been looking at small handgun cases so I can put both pipes and the tamper in one box. The tamper goes well with both pipes in my opinion.
