[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 265721, member: 1969"] Too long, couldn't read. I have a habit of improving pipes, but not modifying them. If they smoke like shit, and weren't drilled properly or the stem needs work, I do it. I don't care. I smoke my pipes as part of their enjoyment. If pipe collecting becomes a matter of "don't take them out of the package and play with them, that ruins the value," well, I'm a pipe smoker, then, before a collector. What I do is like taking a classic car and original engine, port and polishing the insides, cleaning the outside and making it look as good as it can perform stock. Not putting hydraulics on the wheels, chroming everything but the sun visor (oh hell, chrome the sun visor)...and $40K in stereo equipment. Not reading all of that, concerning "modification," I'd be curious to know if what I do is "bad" for my more collectible pipes. Whether or not I care is another matter. 8) [/QUOTE]
