Just found 4 more pipes !!

[monbla256]

I was back in a back bedroom of my house cleaning out some clothes and stuff to give to Catholic Charities here in town and came across a shoe box that had 4 of my missing Edward's pipes as well as 3 un-opened tins of 759 and 2 of S&P's Gentleman's Mixture!! Also found 6 pipe nails, a plaid cloth roll-up pouch w/some VERY DRY 759 in it as well as 8 very yellowed pckages of B.J.Long's cleaners ! Sort of a time warp Christmas
The pipes were as follows:
1x # 708 Pot - about a grp5 size w/saddle bit
1x #721 Canadian - it's a LONG one just at 7 1/2" !
2x #730 Coachman - 1 smooth and the other the "tanshell" blast they made back in the late 70's
Here's a pic of the Coachman shape (not mine) which were some GREAT smoking machines as I recall. ( I'm smoking the "tanshell" blast one as I type)
All of 'em are partially oxidized and I'll need to do some polish to them but all are ready to smoke "out of the box" so to speak right now

All the tins seem to be fine, no rust or such and still feel sealed. We'll find out when I open 'em Now I'm up to 90 pipes so I guess I'll have to go for 100 before I die :twisted: :twisted:

I like how you are able to time-capsule bomb yourself. :lol:

That Coachman is cool, always liked those! Never seen one up close n personal.

I moved into this house twenty years ago after my last divorce and just put stuff away and I've never really used anything in that closet since I put stuff in it! I'm finding ALL sorts of stuff I forgot I had

Just don't get to the stage where you forgot where all your pipes are, and then post a message saying, "I just found 100 pipes sitting on a rack in a room I never knew existed!" :lol:

I'll have to check on that for sure . I'm sure I only have 3 bedrooms but I could be wrong 40 years can play hell with ones mind ya know. No you don't you've still got some more to go, but you'll see :evil: :twisted: :twisted:

I have more things I'd rather forget than you can imagine. If finding "new" things I managed to stash for myself is the extent of my worries, hell, it'll be cheaper in the long run.

Great find! 4 more pipes! I bet you knew the tobacco rotation into which they will see service when you first laid eyes on them!

 

[Kelhammer]

I am contemplating putting a package together for myself right now. Have a few drinks, then go stash it on a high shelf in the garage. I am bound to forget about it in no time. I would just be afraid of not finding it again.

Very cool!

That's better than finding a $20.00 bill in your old coat pocket! I love it when stuff like this happens....but I hate losing stuff! It drives me mad.

So cool! I've found tins of tobacco that I got for C'mas that my missus put away with tree decorations and lights. And I recently found a file containing receipts for tobacco and pipe purchases I made in the 70s and 80s. Prices have certainly changed.

Well since they've been sitting in a box for 20 yrs, they probably don't smoke too well. I volunteer to be your official tester. I promise, I'll get them back to you as soon as I deem them worth your 40 yrs of experience! :twisted: :twisted:

It's only 95.5 million and it would cost me $1.00 for a ticket :twisted: :twisted:
