Knowing the difference: A problem is nothing more than an opportunity in disguise. On the other hand, knowing that if you can fix it with a hammer it's not an electrical problem. There is no question that a pipe could be an objet d'art. However, if "sex is (an) unpaid overrated physical activity." I wonder how the paid side feels about that?I fail to see the problem either way. A pipe can be an objet d'art and sex is unpaid overrated physical activity.
You have a way with words... don't stop!Both represent untapped potential and can stink if not cleaned properly after use.
Depends on the individual. Some enjoy it. The an was unnecessary.I wonder how the paid side feels about that?
No doubt there. Somehow, I think I'm more of an accumulator than a collector.The collecting is just fun isn't it??
Apologies for the (an).Depends on the individual. Some enjoy it. The an was unnecessary.
I have two unsmoked pipes, but thats just because I havent worn out the one I am smoking
"Stunning!"I've a few pipes with acrylic stems that I bought solely to look at because I can't stand the feel of most of them. This Preben Holm Hallmark was purchased for me by my wife unsmoked and will remain that way. It arrived in its original box and hand signed sock and appears on his Pipedia page.

Thanks for the edit. Now... where's Rule #9?EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)
The real question is if not smoked is it a pipe or really an expensive piece of wood and plastic?
Up until a few years ago, I had a legit unfired 1881 Springfield Trapdoor rifle. I had it for 18 years, it was still a rifle, and it was a beautiful, expensive piece of iron and wood. Looked like it could have been made yesterday, amazing colorful case hardening on the receiver.The real question is if not smoked is it a pipe or really an expensive piece of wood and plastic?

This is how I feel. But more power to those who get pleasure from collecting etc. Life is too short to not take pleasure when possible .The answer lies within your question: It is an unsmoked expensive piece of wood and plastic.
Once smoked it comes alive, builds a history, takes on a patina as it ages over time. It will give comfort in times of stress and surround you with a quiet calm and peace of mind.
Together, you and your pipe will enjoy caring for each other for endless hours of measurable and pleasurable times for the rest of your lives. Now after saying this... I think I'll just divorce my wife and marry my pipes.
Now although that's something really smokeable. I don't think I would have the heart to sell it.

Sold for 6.5x what I paid for it... A lot of TAD, and PAD or maybe one big PAD purchase.
With all due respect and sincerity, perhaps a Catholic Nun would be in a better position to explain that, than I ever could.I understand why guys don't want to smoke certain pipes but virgin taking a vow of chastity eludes me.
