Goals equal pressure, therefore I have none. It is what it is and all that.
Pipe goals for 2022
- Thread starter AimlessWanderer

It can equal pressure. I'm more of the mindset that it's equalling direction.
Goals for 2022? all the pipes. I want ALL the pipes. Cruising the interwebs and making lists!
Perhaps not so much goals as they are things I'd like to be more intentional about.
IRT tobacco purchases, my hope is to continue to purchase tobaccos that will cellar well. My frequency in smoking a pipe is not a daily occurrence nor a weekly one. It is roughly a bi-monthly enjoyment, a time for me to sit outside and ponder/reflect/praise/think on the blessings I have. So the intention is to continue through the aromatics that I have and get more of the blends that will age and supplement as needed. At the pace I'm going, I believe that I could have enough to last me 5+yrs without issue. Ideally, having some for a 10yr mark would be nice.
With what I had mentioned above, my hope is to enjoy a smoke with friends nearby. When I first retired from the Navy and moved to Oklahoma in 2019, I didn't know really anyone in this area. By the time 2020 rolled around, I knew folks but had to be "distanced" and such b/c of a "pandemic". With things seemingly opening up and hopefully winding down (I hope for 2022), I'd really like to enjoy a smoke with the friends I've made here to ponder/reflect/praise/think on the blessings we have in common together. I've enjoyed the BL herfs we've had here (many thanks Micah) and I hope to carry that over into this year, just locally in person as well. I do have a really nice view off my front porch if anyone is inclined to come to Norman.
As far as pipes are concerned, I have quite a few cobs and unless there's one that is a "must have", I'll probably not get anymore. I do have a large project planned over the coming months that I hope to share more on soon. Just waiting for things to align as needed. But I do hope to get this year's BL LE pipe when it's announced.
Cigars are simple, just get more.
I try to stay out of Norman since I bleed orange... But could make an exception one day

Oh, this is great! @Donnie Brasco When you first posted, I thought, "Oh boy. Save money. Get advice on B&B."
I thought I had gone cold turkey on razor and soap AD for a few years. Last year, after being on the wagon for about five years? This was me.
Not much different with pipes now. We're doomed, my friend. Doomed.
@JCinPA seriously. For me it was tattoos, then shaving gear, then mountain biking, then powerlifting, (then I discovered Huckberry!) but yeah, I'm definitely gonna walk away from here with just a "few" pipes (and just a few tins of Escudo cellared away)
Famous last words!

Anytime! The front porch is always open! FWIW, I may live in Norman but my heart is still in the northeast......Penn St kid growing up in central PA!
That's Steelers country! Ew! Good job moving.

Still a diehard Steelers fan........from birth!
Since I smoked only about a half a dozen bowls in 2021, my goal will be to quit buying cigars again and focus on smoking my pipes more. I'm pretty sure I planned on doing so a couple years ago, but refining my pipe collection down to a couple dozen might be a good goal for this year as well.
You'll certainly save money switching from cigars to pipes. Much like switching to wet shaving saved you money from cartridges!
I went from pipes to cigars, with close to 100 lbs of pipe tobacco currently cellared, and have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60 pipes. I know all about saving money. Lol
