AD: Giving up the pipe, tobacco for sale
AD: Giving up the pipe, tobacco for sale
ASP A year ago the MD told me to give up the pipe because of my
worsening COPD. Even the ambient smoke in the room is a no-no, saith the
Sawbones. I eventually obeyed, haven't puffed at all since mid-November
2007. I have put off divesting myself of 47 years of pipes and pipe
smoking accouterments, including some 150 high-grades and a few of
lesser quality: Dunhill, Comoy, Charatan, Ferndown, Ashton, Barling,
Astley, Parker (a dozen+ of Shape 95, the Parker "LB" in various
finishes), BBB, Tinsky, S&R (Steve & Roswitha Anderson, of Columbus OH),
Viprati (including a couple my damn sumbitch dog chomped on which are
still lovely, thanks to Tinsky's buffing up, despite the visible
fang-marks), and more. A few are new-in-the-box. I will also offer
several humidors, pipe racks, reamers, and a small collection of times,
and a small collection of pipe publications, catalogs and pamphlets
accumulated since the early 1960s.
Eventually I will get everything photographed and create a website where
ASPers my peruse what I have to offer at their leisure. If an ASPer
doesn't respond in due course, I'll put them on eBay.
For now, I offer the following tobacco, purchased in April 2007:
3 unopened 8 oz. bulk packs of Penzance, $20.00 each plus UPS postage.
1 opened bulk pack of Penzance weighing 6.5 oz, $17.00 plus UPS postage.
3 unopened 8 oz. bulk packs of Margate, $20.00 each plus UPS postage.
1 opened bulk pack of Margate weighing 7 oz., $17.50 plus UPS postage.
The opened packs have been kept tightly sealed with a triple top roll
held by a binder clip and kept in an airtight screwtop container.
Plus the following unopened cellared tins:
1-100 gram tin McClelland Christmas Cheer 1998, $20.00 or best offer in
the next 7 days.
1-2 oz. tin G. L. Pease Raven's Wing (old style tin at least 6 years
old), $15.00 or best offer in the next 7 days, plus UPS postage.
1-2 oz. tin G. L. Pease Cumberland (old style tin at least 6 years old),
$15.00 or best offer in the next 7 days, plus UPS postage.
