So is it wrong to love the look of a pipe so much that you don't want to smoke it? I have yet to load a bowl of tobacco into this pipe and put flame to it. It's such a great looking pipe I can't bring myself to fire it up.
I know that people collect meerschaum pipes for their art/craftsmanship, but I don't consider myself to be such an individual. At least I didn't before, but maybe that's changing.
