To The Very Kind Soul . . .

[dread]

. . . who anonymously gifted me a Stanwell 2012 Christmas pipe. It arrived today and I wanted to publicly thank you, from the very bottom of my heart. The pipe itself is beautiful, perfectly balanced with a mix of straight and flame grains. My family has been going through a bit of a rough patch of late. We are blessed to not be as badly off as many others, but I've had to suspend my PAD and TAD until our wings are level again. Making your timing perfect and making me feel really good inside. While the pipe is beautiful, your kindness is much more so. So, thank you!

That's a really pretty pipe.

This place is riddled with good deeds and kind acts.
Talk about your thousand points of light....
Don't get the big head, Dread, but gifts like this mean you're accepted and valued.
BTW, that's one gorgeous ass burner.

That's awesome. Every now and then someone renews your faith in the human race.

Beautiful pipe and a beautiful act of kindness.

Lifts your spirits to know about it.

Let that pipe be a source of renewal when your spirits are down. It's a beautiful thing.

Thats a wonderful act of kindness and is the sort of thing that makes this forum a wonderful place to float around. If we all lived in one town it would probably make for the best pipe club in the world.

+1 Simon!

This is the type of act that keeps me drawn to this forum. Enjoy the pipe and bless you and the person who sent it.

Awesome gesture of generosity and an awesome pipe! I have one as well and it smokes very well (with the 9mm adapter, damn filters!). Enjoy it dread, and i hope the wings steady way sooner than later. Take care, brother.

Now THAT is one hell of a very kind gesture!

The members here are something else...

That is a gorgeous pipe and an even more beautiful act of kindness that also renews my faith in the human race. I do hope things get better for you Dread real soon.
+100000000 to the generous individual on this site. This is why I love this forum. You see 10,000 random acts of kindness compared to the one or two dopes that try to pull some stupid shit. If everyday life only had those odds the world would be a much better place.

Great looking grain on that pipe. Love the military style mount too. It couldn't have found a better home. Happy smoking. ::

 

[sparrowhawk]

A million ayes to yazamitaz's post, and another for the giver. Dread, you must have done good to get this beauty.

Gifting others is one of the finest aspects of the pipe forums.

Man... That's a beautiful pipe and a beautiful act of kindness and generosity. Hope things calm down soon, for you and yours.
