So as the title suggests this thread is about getting rid of pipes that for whatever reason have some sort of sentimental value for the owner.
I have my very first pipe that I purchased from Blatter and Blatter in Montreal and it is becoming very difficult to smoke it. I think if the bowl wasn't pre carbed I would have an easier time but alas that is not the case. I hold this pipe dear to me because it was my first foray into the world of briar, and I cannot come to part with it despite its relatively poor smoking qualities.
In the years since I started smoking I have purchased some very good smokers and they are very easy to get along with.
I was wondering if any of you have had a similar situation and how you either managed to part ways or hold on despite the flaws?
I will most likely keep the pipe even though it isn't my best just to have it around for "old times sake".
