Would you buy an estate pipe from a pipe smokers collection?

[QUOTE="SpeedyPete, post: 398414, member: 1538"] Yes!! I would say 75% of my pipes were used when I bought them. And I look for well used (smoked) pipes because that tells me the previous owner liked the pipe a lot! What I'm careful about are those "almost new" estates. Why didn't the first owner smoke the pipe? Maybe it's a bad pipe? On the other hand, I was gifted an almost new Sav Punto Oro by a very close friend. He did not like the way it smoked. I just love this pipe! As Kyle mentioned we take a chance everytime we buy a pipe, be it new or used. Difference with a used pipe is that it's (or should be) cheaper than buying a new one and it's been broken in for me. So if it's not a good smoker I won't suffer buyer's remorse to the same extent as when it was a new pipe. And then, I've had more new "bad" pipes than "bad" estates although only 25% of my herd were bought new. Go figure! [/QUOTE]
