what is your latest pipe purchase

[coffeecup]

So, I get a small tobacco order in from Pipes & Cigars.com and they give me a password for 20% off my next order of $100 or more. What the hell, I'll go look, no harm in that. I think you already know how this story ends.

It's a Mastro de Paja Classica Billiard. I'm a sucker for Italian pipes.

Dang it Warren, I looked at your post- I had gotten the same 20% off card and your post compelled me to look; I ended up with 19 tins of tobacco that I had wanted to try. What can I say?

You're a trusting soul. I sure hope that you like it! Which tobacco?

The same thing happened to me! I purchased way too much tobacco and some pipes too.

I got 5 lbs of Lane ready rubbed in today, for a buck an ounce. well under 20 bucks a pound for decent tobacco. Yesterday a pound of MacBaren Golden extra arrived from JR, 22 bucks shipped after multiple coupon codes. About to order 4 bags of D&R from CI with gift cards from their ten pack frenzy back in spring.

Where'd you get the bulk ready rubbed?

Pipes and cigars-- it was back ordered, but I put in an order for 5 lbs anyway, and they honored it and the discount price and shipped it this past monday. They don't currently have it in bulk, just tubs and pouches. I am not head over heels for it, but it's a solid OTC style burley, an for that cheap I figured why not.

While I'm at it, I have a bunch of CI gift cards I'd like swap. I was going to buy some D&R tobacco from them with them, but P&C is way cheaper-- D&R is 20% off, plus an additonal 20% off code I have. If anyone is planning a CI order and feels like helping me out get in touch.

It took a little while to register but I just realized what a great deal that is on the D&R tobacco so I just ordered a bunch of it. Most of it is on backorder, but they will send it along as they get more in. Thanks for the heads-up, Eric!

Yup, 5 pounds for under 90 bucks of the Rimboche, even cheaper for the rest. I just wish I could swap these CI giftcards to someone and order P&C! don't have the freed up cash otherwise. hopefully their D&R sale goes on for a while.

Doug, I bought tins of all of the Frog Morton series except "Across the Pond" which I had already had, I also added to my Dunhill collection with BB 1938, Drubar Mixture, Aperitif, and Elizabethan Mixture. I got some more of Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding, Orlik Golden Sliced and Dark Strong Kentucky. Add to this with Old Shenadoah Barrel 76 and finally Cao's Eileens Dream. You should note that I got multiples of 2 for several of these selections adding up to 19 tins. You should note that Pipes and Cigars already had a bountiful sale with their "Catalog End of the Summer" sale; add to that a 20% across the board discount and I simply could not resist.
