[QUOTE="Tim_Haggerty, post: 131588, member: 1190"] I've got one unsmoked pipe only because I haven't gotten around to it. She's a beauty though. I do have a certain fondness for Ser Jac maximas; I have about 8, which is a small collection I suppose. Having said that, I don't see the distinction, per se: I collect pipes but I smoke them too; if that makes them lose value, so be it (it certainly doesn't make them less valuable for me and I figure my pipes will be part of my estate after I'm gone, I just hope whoever gets them enjoys them as much as I did). I have a couple of expensive pipes -- well, expensive for me, they seem to rank as mid grade in the grand scheme of things -- that for one reason or another don't suit me particularly. I've collected them I suppose but the idea of having a pipe I didn't smoke seems foolish; I've had bowls that I've put down for years and then gone back to. But if collecting pipes as an aesthetic experience makes you happy, go for it. I've heard that there are people who buy wine and don't drink it, which seems like far more restraint then I'll ever have. [/QUOTE]
