(she chose a purse and I chose a pipe)

I offered to just buy my own pipe and she agreed to pick out her purse and we would call it good

She is still looking and
I think I got the better deal 🤣

But at least we will both have something to unwrap for Christmas with the family
I like that plan.

Can’t wait to see it buddy! 🎄

I ended up going with the pipes I mentioned to you earlier that we’re on sale at JRCigars

A Peterson for 48 bucks
And tosses in a GiGi pipe for 35

As an added bonus I guess my debit card had a year end benefit balance that I could apply to the purchase
So unless they have something against using it on this particular purchase - I checked out for 38 bucks total
:awesome:

Picked up a last minute Mitchell Thomas basket pipe and a tin of Cringle Flake from WV Smokeshop. When the order arrived, it had a surprise extra baggie with about an ounce of Holiday Blend... and it smells delicious. Can't wait to try it.
