[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 188051, member: 3"] Yes, there's definitely a difference between what I need and what I want. Even in need there's room for aesthetic interpretation. A guy could decide that all he needs is a half dozen Sixten Ivarsson originals and thirty pounds of aged Balkan Sobranie to get him by, or it could be a couple of cobs and a pouch of Captain Black. If a guy were, like Yak, to decide that it's unnecessary and frivolous to have more than what is practically needed to enjoy a modest amount of smoking from a select few tobaccos, it's totally reasonable to maintain that principle while still making the collection of pipes and tobaccos well thought out, eclectic, cool and very personal. That, too, is a focused collection, just like the guy who needs to have a pipe from every now dead or near dead Danish legend, or a guy who needs to have one of every model ever made by, say, Dunhill or Earl's Pretty Good Pipe Emporium. Collections are as unique as the collector. I guess even the guy who only buys tool pipes, keeps the good ones in his toolbox and gets rid of the rest has, even if he doesn't realize it, become a collector. Maybe the only non collector in our hobby is the guy who buys one cob, throws it away when it's toast, and buys another one..... I'm hoping Peterson starts making the Sherlock Holmes series with acrylic stems. May have to take a second job.... :lol: [/QUOTE]
