I started smoking pipes after I'd retired. That allowed me the time to really get immersed in the pertinent subjects of tobacco and pipes.
At first, I only had one cob and inhaled it. Then I found this website.
That was in April of 2014, almost a year after I'd retired and had resumed smoking roll your owns for about 2 months and wanted to quit inhaling burnt paper.
Now I don't inhale, and own scores of pipes both new and used that I bought for as little as $2.50 ( A Barling with no stem) to as much as $67.00 for an old Dunhill Shellbriar that I paid to have a certified Dunhill replacement stem 'made'.
The stem and shipping cost me more than the pipe.
I started out buying pipes that I thought had value so that I might sell them at a profit. That idea slowly bit the dust as I realized that profiting from pipes wasn't my thing, and I just kept them to smoke and give away.
