And one of my favorite stories concerns a conversation I have with one such notable, a Doctor of Pipes and a collector of ultra high end pipes, such as Nordh, Ivarrson, and Chonowitsch among others. And I asked him if his Nordh's smoked better than any of his other pipes and his response was, "They smoke as well as my Grabows."

My fiancé didn't specifically buy all these high end pipes for Christmas for me, he has been collecting high end pipes for years and I happen to now be the fortunate receiver... I think this comment from your friend is "His" personal opinion and he is entitled to it, but I don't think it can be applied in general to the rest of us. We all have different tastes and preferences..

Sorry if my gentle sarcasm didn’t come across well in my comment. The pipes you have been showing are stunning, and for what it’s worth, if anyone could pull off a diamond encrusted or super blinged up grabow it would be you ?…. And Congratulations on your engagement. Nothing better than marrying someone who celebrates your passion

I know what you mean but I'm a little apprehensive when I get certain comments because in the past not on this forum but on social media some people tried to bash amazing pipes that I shared about like my Dunhills. Someone tried to tell me that they're not good pipes that they're old (they are 1928 churchwardens) and I seriously had to ask myself is he joking or not!? and to my surprise he wasn't! Sorry if I didn't get the sarcasm but I am also very corky ?? thank you for understanding ???

I think someone has completely missed the obviously sarcastic and humorous nature of this thread.
It's just a pipe.
