[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 82921, member: 10"] In all seriousness I don't see how a pipe smoked properly could 'wear out'. I've seen stems messed up by over buffing, shoot I've even seen a pipe 'reshaped' from over buffing, but that's not what was implied in Ricks book. Smoking a pipe generates heat, there's no way around that, the question is how does that heat effect the pipe. Smoked slowly without 'puffing it up' I don't think a pipe will ever wear out. I do think there is permenant damage every time a pipe gets puffed up to the point of the heat becoming uncomfortable for the smoker. So the concept (in my mind anyway) isn't 'does a pipe wear out', it is 'how much can you abuse a pipe before you destroy it.' [/QUOTE]
