[QUOTE="mark, post: 48222, member: 376"] Well now this IS an interesting topic,,,I envision pipe collecting as accumulating high priced artwork in the form of a functional smoking instrument,,,whether for arts sake or an investment,,,,choosing rare, handmade, limited available pipes of the utmost quality using the best and most highly sought materials ,,,,not totally out of reach of my smoking budget, ( for a whole year or two ), but realistically I'd be afraid to smoke the best pipe on the planet. However these gems are probably just as well appreciated as art by those of us that are financially embarassed and can't engage in the hobby. I myself can't justify $800 for a mid range collectible but I completely understand the allure. Collectible Pipes are like women, there's always one with more curves promising excitement, a style exuding adventure, an out of control free spirit taunting you to hold tight and hang on,,,and although they're a sight to behold, they travel in Maseratis and attend black tie affairs sipping champagne. I drive a Chevy pickup and drink Bud light at the VFW,,,,,,,, :lol!: [/QUOTE]
