Oh, so you finally smoked it. Mine is still sitting there on the bookcase brand new. ?That photo was taken prior to smoking it. Originally it was a size comparison photo.

Unless I buy them. I smoke the hell out of my Beckers from the most expensive to the least. I knock them against stuff to empty them, and I like to give those shock-eyed guys at The Briary a little wink when I do this. I am committed to never selling them, to the point when I don't give a rat's ass about whether the logos get rubbed off the stems... and I used to joke about sanding the nomenclature off of the stummel. When I die, screw em, throw them away!I doubt many of the super expensive pipes get smoked much.
there is certainly something twisted inside of you. That's a type of sadism you don't see openly expressed too often.Sure, some of my nice pipes I don't use, but mostly those are the ones I bought just to keep anyone else from owning. The pipes I love, I smoke and smoke often.
It's only sadistic if I destroy them.That's a type of sadism you don't see openly expressed too often.
Deflection! I don't care how you enjoy your pipes, I just suspect you may have beaten a few innocents with a thousand dollar Dunhill and told them how lucky they are. That's all.It's only sadistic if I destroy them.
Come on, it's only pipes... live a little. Throw a Dunhill off a bridge in heavy traffic. Buy the last bag of Esotericas, complain about how it sucks, and take pictures dumping it into the garden. Believe in everything, so that nothing is sacred, and then believe in nothing, so that everything is sacred.
Come on, joke a little... bend before you break. Loosen up. Give us a barbaric yawp and destroy something beautiful!Deflection! I don't care how you enjoy your pipes, I just suspect you may have beaten a few innocents with a thousand dollar Dunhill and told them how lucky they are. That's all.
Not when the subject is so darn serious!Come on, joke a little... bend before you break. Loosen up. Give us a barbaric yawp and destroy something beautiful!
$26,0000 for an unsmoked Charatan???? A Brand New Nanna doesn't even cost that much. The seller is off his rocker.Whenever I see pipes with outrageous prices my first thought is 'Is that a typo?'
Who would pay $1k or more for a pipe? Or more than $500 for that matter.
Were I a multi-millionaire I still couldn't justify spending huge money on a pipe, especially since that I doubt that they smoke any better than most of my briars & cobs that were bargains.
Take this 1965-1976 Charatan Achievement for example. Sure it's a really nice pipe. But not $26,000 nice.

Well he does have a nice marmot.I heard Cosmic takes his ferret to the pipe club meetings.
