I have to say this guys:
you are the classiest group of people I've 'met' in a long, long time.
Not only did you guys NOT slam me against the wall, (because I knew that I was going against the grain on this post),
but you also made me feel welcomed.....just goes to show you that it is true.....the classiest people you can 'meet' will be puffing on a pipe. :

ranger i pride myself on being a person who owns very little... try my best to consolidate want and need. i can fit everything i own and another person in my cherokee comfortably. even though i still have about forty pipes. i would feel "right" to have four or five. i just can't. i justify it by not owning a television.
jasongone...very cool, for many years I only possessed that which I could carry on my motorcycle, so I know how that lifestyle is, and I like it.
My apt. is very humble indeed, I don't even have a kitchen table to eat on, my only chair is my wheelchair and I love it, I don't love the wheelchair, but I love the idea of having few possessions.
The few items I do have, I am already looking to sell them off, I get nervous having a lot of "things",
I even get nervous when there is too much food in the icebox, however, I don't knock those that do have many possessions as that is their choice, and we all should be free to live life the way we choose.
Peace out,
Ranger

I can definitely appreciate having only a couple pipes. I spend several minutes a day trying to grab one I like to smoke while not neglecting others. I only have 12 at this point. I can't imagine what pros like arthur go through. Ranger you have a fine way of cutting to the true passion of pipe smoking. A pipe tobacco and person all working together to pass the time of day.
I can't believe that my beloved 47 Kaywoodie has been replaced....I feel like such a cheating bastard!
As of yesterday I have become divorced from my beloved Kay, and I have now become joined to my new love.....a Willard...don't know the date, my estimation would be late 60's to early 70's.
I'm sure you guys know what a Willard pipe is....as you know it is a cheap little OTC pipe that was very often given away with coupons.
My Willard unfortunately has the stinger removed, and that is the downside of it .... but for some strange reason that doesn't bother me...I would have preferred the stinger, but nothing I can do about it.
I wonder if I would be able to have a new stinger put into the pipe?
The Willard pipe is a very good smoker indeed, it is extremely light in weight telling me that the briar is well aged, there are only two very tiny fills in the back of the pipe, hardly noticeable.
I don't feel there is a need that someone has to mortgage the house so that one may smoke a pipe....not when such good smokers like Kaywoodie's, Dr. Grabow, and Willard pipes can be had for peanuts?
If someone wishes to pay ten thousand dollars for a pipe, that is his business, not mine, I just don't get the need for an extremely high priced pipe that burns tobacco the same way my $5.00 pipes do?
At least that's the way I feel about it.
I personally don't care what others spend on their pipes, that is their business not mine....but unfortunately the pipe snobs do seem to care....for they will stick their noses high up in the air looking down on my little five dollar pipes....but in the end, I enjoy a bowl, and so do they.
In fact, I wonder if I may not enjoy smoking my pipe better?....
why, because I don't have to worry about being so careful of this, and of that....ie/ I don't have to be so damned anal about smoking a pipe.....
I can just light it up and enjoy...
so just maybe I may enjoy smoking my cheap little pipe better...just maybe. 8)
Back to my new love:
There is some vibration I am getting from this pipe, some energy that I can't place.....I remember these exact pipes in Nam......and hundreds of thousands, if not millions of service men smoked Willard pipes....
My only thought is that some decorated service man may have smoked this pipe, because I get such strong, extremely strong connections to this pipe.....
I have cleaned my other pipes, and they are now in storage until I am able to sell them....I truly will now only smoke this one Willard pipe until the day I die.

I would also like to add that the Willard pipe was a gift from someone on this forum....this Willard was just meant to come to me...this Willard pipe has come home!
I won't mention his name just in case he wishes to remain anonymous...if you want to reveal your kindness I will leave that up to you....but I thank you so very much.

Jason, I can relate. A few years back I went the same route and divested myself of most of the clutter of material things. Now, everything I own fits inside my truck, and even those I go through on occasion and get rid of the excesses.
Most of my "clutter" consists of pipes, tobaccos, and gadgets like laptops, iPad, iPod, etc. I do like my gadgets, as long as they are useful to me.
Rod, thanks brother....you know we had a RECON in my Ranger school, as well as a UDT.(SEAL for you non military), we also had a guy from the Israeli commando's, and a guy from from some other country, the country has slipped my mind right now....
But as you know many of the other branches of service, as well as other soldiers/marines/air force/and navy personnel from many other countries would come and train with us to be awarded the coveted Ranger tab....
Out of all the above mentioned crack service personnel the two that stand out in my mind are the Marine RECON, and the Navy UDT..(SEAL), but that RECON was one tough SOB,
I had a lot of respect for him....he smoked a Willard...of course we couldn't smoke while training, which was 23 hours a day, and that one hour off a day you slept (if you can call it that, napped was more like it)....but on our day off (when we had one) he did smoke that old beat up Willard, he was also a very nice guy...that's how I tell the real tough bastards, they are all nice until first blood is drawn on them.
I know that a lot of guys don't believe that things can carry energy....but, they can...everything vibrates, if it vibrates, it makes both music, and carries energy....and energy as you know (I hope) can be stored...therefore items have the ability to create music, and to store energy!
This pipe is beaming....with .... energy!
I am so grateful .... you cannot imagine just how grateful.. :worship:
