[QUOTE="Amenhotep04, post: 123977, member: 836"] I see it as a false dichotomy. Why does it have to be one or the other? I understand the desire to buy just about anything. That impulse, especially on Ebay can be financially and socially destructive. But I see nothing wrong in buying, collecting, and acknowledging the aesthetic attributes of lots of high quality pipes. I really see the initial stages as a learning process. People try to learn more about pipes, and it's difficult to do if you don't buy them or acquire them in some manner. There's plenty of information out there to be had, and much of it is worth reading. The attributes of the pipes that interest me change periodically, and I've got enough pipes (30 something) to roll with the changes. And I still add a pipe from time to time. I think you have to try the differences in grain, stems, weight, as well as what kind of tobacco, how to pack it, how to smoke etc. to get a feel not only of what you like, but of what you don't like. Smoking a pipe is a process that is continually changing. Just roll with it. :farao: [/QUOTE]
