[QUOTE="Muddler, post: 18350, member: 337"] Earlier today I followed one of the links posted to a pipe maker's site & spotted a pipe that was just WoW. Should be in the Louvre. I called my wife over to show her, & she wow'd over it. I think the price was around $700 & it was absolutely worth it. SWAMBO suggested I get it for Xmas (wonderful girl). I declined. Like Stump, I'm happier in the below $300 range. I'm not a collector, but I sure as hell can appreciate them. And I probably could afford them. Maybe. A few. But I'd sooner spend the bucks on other hobbies. So, the point of this is that: 1. Quality is plainly evident - even to non pipe smokers 2. You have to pay for true art 3. You may choose not to 4. The opinions of elitists or counter-elitists matter to one only if one thinks they may have a point (or do you think I'm being a bit harsh in this judgement?) 5. My opinion - stuff both camps & smoke what you please, smugly. [/QUOTE]
