Sharing New Investment
- Thread starter Pipeoff
- Start date
Is this a particularly good investment, I mean better than all my pipe buys? Everyone knows a new pipe is worth less than a well broken in pipe. If you disagree, plz don’t tell my wife.
I get these pipes in the mail, and I’ll use grape seed oil and obdisian oil and everclear and pipe cleaners and steel wool to clean them up, and my wife asks what is so special about that pipe, it looks sort of like your other pipes.
I’ll say honey, this is a high condition natural finish medium saddle bit Lovat 7 pointed star Lee Three Star. It’s about 75 years old. It’s worth more now, than what I paid for it.
She asks if I ever sell any pipes, and I say not really good ones like this Lee.
But I could sell them, I really could, it’s just they keep on appreciating each year.
She says those pipes will be valuable for our children someday, and I say nothing is too much to sacrifice for those kids, you know.

Not too sure if many pipes ARE investment pieces other than Bo Nordhs and Sixten Ivarssons.
Hopefully pipe smoking will still be popular 10 - 20 years from now. And that those 2 makers are still collectible. Many so-called investments actually lose value when they fall out of fashion and favour.
I buy pipes because I like their looks, not because of their value down the track. I look at my pipes as pieces for me to enjoy now. Never ever as investments.

My pipes are investment in myself. Glad you are getting joy from smoking yours bro
Don't forget Dunhill - those things always seem to appreciate, not least because they're so expensive new. I have a 1924 Shell that I hope will finance several nice new pipes one of these days.
Provided you can find a buyer at the price you hope for. Pipes and tobacco are poor high risk monetary investments.
Good looking pipe!? Sort of the reverse of the dromedary design.
