You Might Have P.A.D if....

[Chasing Embers]

And you're blaming Bigfoot for not being able to find one

Just because you're blaming Bigfoot doesn't mean he's not responsible. :wink:

You might have PAD if you buy two pipes from each pipe maker so the the first pipe is not lonely
you might have PAD when you pay extra money for wi fi on the airplane so you can watch eBay auctions end
you might have PAD when you are entering last second bids during your childrens baptism at the church
You mght have PAD when a package arrives every week for over a year with pipes in it
you might have PAD when vacationing in china, you are up at odd hours checking you favorite sellers auctions that are ending
You might have PAD when ebay sellers contact you directly with deals on high grade pipes so they don't have to list them

Just because you're blaming Bigfoot doesn't mean he's not responsible. :wink:

This is true

I'm submitting these for a friend. :wink:
1. You have your newly acquired pipes shipped to your office (under swmbo's radar coverage)
2. You buy a lot of 8 pipes in order to acquire that one pipe that you desperately need (bent bulldog)
3. You buy a 10' wall unit to hold your PAD/TAD collection
4. You find yourself hoping that the call you're making @ work will put you on hold, allowing a little interweb surfin for new acquisitions (bent bulldogs).
5. Your inbox has more emails from esnipe than anyone else (bent bulldogs)
6. Google auto-populates with pipes whenever you pull it up (bent bulldogs)
7. You find yourself looking at pipe racks and various stands to accommodate your ever growing stable (bent bulldogs)
8. You start researching creating your own iPhone app for your briars (bent bulldogs)

You are surprised and fascinated to discover a pipe you bought two years ago on the back of your rack you didn't remember you had.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Is it PAD if an artisan gives you a pipe you've been eyeballing?

 

[mso489]

...or gives you a price about 1/3 of the going rate?

 

[addamsruspipe]

Is it PAD when you map out all the Pipe shops in the different cities you are going to so you can plan your route to hit them all. And not have to backtrack. Just so you don't miss a pipe that you didn't know you needed till you saw it at the shop.

 

[mcitinner1]

Maybe, but it could also just be a well planned trip. :wink:

 

[derfatdutchman]

If the wife has set the internet blocking software to block all estate pipe sites.

 

[wyfbane]

Don't forget buying a pipe. Then finding you already have the same one. But you don't remember buying the first one.

Been there, done that.
Might be PAD when every new pipe you buy begins a new "7-Day Set" in your collection you are now compelled to complete...

 

[jaygreen55]

When you have 1/2 an hour to grab a smoke before work and it takes you 25 minutes to decide which pipe to smoke

 

[jamesrsmithjr]

You have as many pipes in the to be sold pile as are in your current rotation (I am close...)
You realize you only have the blast finishes of a specific makers 2014 Christmas pipe and are bummed you can't find any other finishes (Tinskey 2014 Christmas, anyone have one for sale please pm me )
You use a "you might have P.A.D. if.." thread to ask if anyone has pipes you are missing from your 'collection'..

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

If you are thinking of upgrading your already existing and satisfactory pipe collection ,so to say you buying most the same model you already have but of a better quality. No can justify such a stupidity even the undersigned,who been doing this more than twice,

 

[mso489]

If you name your kid Savenelli.

 

[btwes7]

You buy a new pipe at your local B&M every time you visit so you don't feel guilty about sitting in their smoking lounge.

 

[warren]

If the kids have to forego new shoes for fall because of the box of 30 used pipes FedEx delivered the other day.

 

[slowroll]

I don't have anything to add to all of the above :roll: I'm guilty of almost of the above described symptoms. :crazy:

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Slowroll,Oh am looking for remediesto get rid of any Pad symptoms,let me wish you aand Your Family a Happy 4th of July keep on chooching the good tobacco

 

[dunstanhillwell62]

...when your usual second-hand pipe supplier mails you photos of the brands you're collecting before he puts the pipes up for general sale.
