New "Accidental" Pipe Case

[lgoldberg]

About a year ago, I picked up one of those zippered, rectangular bank deposit bags to use as a pipe and accessory case. It was only five bucks and quite roomy.

The wife and I were at Goodwill today, and I spotted this zippered leather case with a logo on it, "1915 Thompson & Co. Inc." Didn't know what that was, but it was four dollars, and looked like the right size to hold pipes.

Got it home and threw my stuff in it. It had a plastic thing in the lid which I hoped I could stick a pipe through, but turns out it was closed on one end. So I put my cigar cutter in it, and that fit perfectly.

Turns out there was a reason for that! I googled the company name and found out they're a cigar distributor. Very serendipitous.

Aargh! I really don't like how images work here. First I had double inline images, now they're not inline.

Hmmm, nothing shows up when I click on them. File not found error.

Have you tried clicking on the insert image in the tool bar up top of your post and then dropping the image into the box that pops up?

Keen to see it as it sounds really cool.

I second everything stated by Timbo in the above.

I have a humidor I got from Thompson years ago; kept it on my desk at work back when. As I recall it was free with a cigar order, or maybe just really cheap, but it works better than my expensive one!

I took new pictures, and put them in the original post.

It would be great to see some pics. I need some sort of small pipe/tobacco carry case.

Ha! I just remembered I also have that exact case sold as a cigar travel humidor. Four bucks is a good buy!

Come back, they're there now!

That case looks very cool, I was hoping it'd be from 1915 but you can't have everything.

You got a good price for that case too.
