[QUOTE="Bub, post: 19597, member: 31"] What clues do you use when you buy an estate pipe? Do you look at an older pipe and say, "the owner must have kept it because they like it?" When you look at a newer pipe do you say, "the owner did not like this one and they wanted to get rid of it?" How about the phrase "lightly smoked"...does that mean the owner did not like the way it smoked? Do you just say (forgetting about price for the moment)...I like the carver, I like the shape I will buy the pipe. How about a pipe that the owner smoked only once? Are there people like that out there? Do people really only smoke a pipe once and then sell it? Some how that seems wrong. I can see smoking a pipe several times, loosing interest in it and then deciding to sell it. I know that you can but some great estate pipes, but are there any clues that you use to help you make a decision? Thanks, Bub [/QUOTE]
