[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 335799"] The hip response is that all pipes go through a strict quality evaluation, and only the all stars get kept. But attraction and appeal is a funny thing. A guy will put up with a lot from a woman he really loves that he'd be tempted to roll his eyes at if he were seeing that same sort of thing in his friend's life. Perspective is everything. Before there were effective de-tox treatments, I bought (from a friend & mentor I remember every time I see it) an estate pipe that was such a Lakeland Love Canal that I couldn't smoke it for over 30 years. No way was I going to part with it though. There's another one beside it -- a similarly old estate -- that I'm devoting a ridiculous amount of time and trouble to bringing back into smoking condition after somebody ill-advisedly reamed the cake down to wood, uncovering some nasty cracks & char. It may be salvageable as a smoker. Or not. Either way, I'm still keeping -- and liking -- it though. Once a pet or a pipe pushes your little button, you don't turn your back to it because of some problem it presents. :face: [/QUOTE]
