Anyone else feel wierd about smoking an estate pipe?

[voorhees]

This sort of degenerative thread is EXACTLY why people leave threaded forums.

:clap:

Good points, ophi. We all have opinions (and orifices) and are free to express them, but the crap that sometimes follows is destructive.
I've heard folks say they were informed after the fact that they had eaten a horseburger which they thought was delicious—until they'd been told!

I ate iguana soup once and I thought it was quite delicious, my grandpa told me after I ate it, I was kind of shocked!! the lizard taste just like chicken breast, although my grandpa was looking for a different reaction.

Well, that's 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.
What was this thread about again?? :roll:

This thread? It's all about having a bit of fun now. The OP has been discussed and cussed, now we go off on tangents, lots of assorted tangents. Sometimes it's what we do best.

well said warren, well said. :puffpipe:

Works for me.

99% of them are, some are just thin skinned, it's a lot like the TV, if you don't like the show, change the channel

People get torn up that threads end up like this, but in "real life" that is the way it works.
The subject was about buying new or used pipes. How long does that take to run out of steam?
I'm sure some adult will be along shortly to...

LOL. I'm fine with them goin awry. Always fun to read... sometimes a bit mundane. Hey, if I don't like it, I'll hit the back arrow.

I recently discovered that I have 3 estate pipes (from my great-grandfather). I have not decided whether or not I will smoke them, but I am planning to have them restored (once I find someone to do it).
If I were to smoke an estate pipe, it would have to be adequately cleaned. Someone mentioned using ever clear.

 

[seagullplayer]

"Someone mentioned using ever clear."
Yes, drink enough of it and you will see the pipe in a different light.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Everyone note, that it was not me who messed this one up. Or, at least I don't think I did.

 

[jpmcwjr]

No, you're in the clear. The Everclear.

 

[ophiuchus]

:: - Glad that's 'cleared up.

I've smoked only one new/unsmoked pipe. I felt weird about it because of what I paid for it. I feel smart smoking estates and not taking the financial hit. I feel the same way about cars.

 

[tslex]

I really treasure some of my estates, like my birthyear Dunhill.
I haven't read any of the other posts. Did anyone discuss germs and sanitizing pipe and stuff? 'cause that's a thing.

I haven't bought a new truck since '05, turned out to be a nice car. I replaced it with a '93 GMC, much happier and have since moved up to a '95 GMC. I did enjoy new vehicles every couple of years but in hindsight taking a hit on the depreciation grew tiresome. Newer trucks have way too much electronics etc. for me, the wife's BMW is scary/expensive enough to repair. Buying used is alright for many things although many things are out of bounds, underwear ? Socks ?

Socks are underwear, they are worn under one's shoes/boots :crazy:
Anyway, I think the census is that estate pipes make for fine smoking implements unless of course you think otherwise ::
