[QUOTE="beaupipe, post: 122680, member: 595"] Solid logic and I think many are traveling down the path of cease or reduce these days. I just sent off 20 pipes for resale, which leaves me with 15 pipes I smoke regularly and about 20 more stashed in a drawer that have sentimental value but are rarely--if ever--smoked. The pipes I got rid of were all nice--Castello, Tsuge, Viprati, L'Anatra, Ser Jacopo, Tao, a few Stanwells--but I just never reached for them anymore and I didn't see the point in having them here gathering dust anymore. I read somewhere that a noted collector (I think it might be Fred Hanna) imposes on himself an arbitrary limit of 40 pipes. If he sees something he simply must have, it becomes a trade-off. The collection may change, but it doesn't grow. I'm way too disorganized, lazy, and undisciplined to do that kind of thing, but I do like the idea. [/QUOTE]
