[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 49324"] At one time, I would have answered an enthusiastic: smoker! This was back when I wanted pipes just to smoke. Had a 7 day rotation for most of my life. Bout three years I kicked up my collection, gradewise, I guess. At that point, I was reluctant to smoke some of my pipes due to the money investment. But then I thought to myself, "Self, you just paid that much money to LOOK at a pipe and maybe hold it in my hand." This makes no sense. I immediately smoked any pipe that was unsmoked on my rack. I almost want to say that I was becoming a collector. Now, I have pipes I bought because I knew the smoking characteristics would be good when I bought them; I also have pipes that I bought because they were aesthetically pleasing to me. Does that make my a hybrid to? I only have 1 unsmoked pipe in my house; a Tinsky 2000 Christmas pipe (I have 2 of them). Not sure why I haven't smoked it, but I'm not purposely letting it sit there unsmoked. I think I would be considered a smoker.... As a P.S.: Same thing happened to my gun collection. I got rid of anything I could not bring myself to discharge and replaced them with shooters. (Things are different in Texas) [/QUOTE]
