Would You Rather...

[mrgunnar177]

Would you rather have $150 pipe or $150 in tobacco?

 

[numbersix]

hehe, good question. For me, tobacco, in tins. Mainly because I have enough pipes for proper rotation and don't have enough tobacco for long term storage.

Depends how many pipes I already own I guess. Some day they will prohibit the sale of pipe tobacco or at least price it out of the average persons reach. Soooo I guess I would rather have the tobacco. One pipe would still let me smoke $150.00 in tobacco but $150 pipe does me no good without good tobacco. Just my two cents.

Tobacco.
There's enough estate pipes out there that even if nobody ever crafted a briar or meerschaum again we'd still find a good smoking vessel or two. (Not to mention what we already own)
Also, it is much easier for an individual to make a quality pipe than to grow/cure/process your own pipe tobacco.

Tobacco, I have a lot of pipes already and $150 would make a nice TAD order.

Tobacco until i have a vast cellar. I only buy pipes that i can make actual use of and things will stay that way until the tobacco hate crew start to lay off.
Which is a shame as i would like to start a pipe collection

Well since I have a rotation of 17 pipes... and because my baccy cellar is EXTREMELY low due to low funds... I would say
$150 worth of tobacco ... that would set me up nice until shit gets better

 

[jsiddle]

PIPE, all i have are two crappy ones

 

[msandoval858]

Hmm... right now I feel like I'm finally getting to where I have a comfortable supply of both. I'm at close to 17 lbs in the cellar and 20 or so pipes. Tough call.
Oh who am I kidding? I can always find $150 worth of tobaccos I "need" :lol:

 

[mrgunnar177]

Haha great answers! keep em coming! Yes this is helping me with a personal decision

 

[kris]

Instinct is saying "tobacco"...I do like a shiny new pipe though!!! :evil:

 

[macattack]

Always room in the cellar for more tobacco.

 

[judcole]

Tobacco. Pipes will always be available, and tobacco prices aren't gonna get any lower.

 

[mrgunnar177]

well these are the shiny pipes im considering, but i cant decide between either of them, one of them, or a big TAD order http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/trying-to-decide-between-my-first-sav?replies=9#post-294952

So I was curious what people would say without knowing that I was looking at pipes as well :P

 

[mrgunnar177]

Tobacco seems to be the vote :D

 

[ghost]

You never know when a favourite blend will disappear, or get hyped on the forum...just saying.

 

[mrgunnar177]

this is the order Im thinking of putting in

 

[mp31guitar]

How about a $75 dollar pipe and $75 dollars of tobacco?

 

[vinvin]

hmmm will it be in US prices? or Canadian Prices? Last I checked 5 tins of 50g came to 150 + Tax + shipping for an order I wanted to put in... It costs around 75 after shipping from the states in US prices... if it's Canadian prices I choose a pipe... if it's US prices I choose Tobacco hahaha. That and US to Canadian Exchange is pretty close these days anyways!

 

[cigrmaster]

gunnar, it was me I would buy this pipe and then spend the rest on tobacco.
