I fail to see the problem either way. A pipe can be an objet d'art and sex is unpaid overrated physical activity.
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?

Your plan shows how much you enjoy smoking.
By the time you have out-smoked your pipes, you'll
be about 275 years old "and there's nothing wrong with that!" Nevertheless, at least consider adding the other two pipes into your daily routine. Remember, once you have them competing against each other, each pipe will try to outdo the other for your affection. It doesn't get any better than that.

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.

Sold for 6.5x what I paid for it... A lot of TAD, and PAD or maybe one big PAD purchase.

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.

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 .

Now although that's something really smokeable. I don't think I would have the heart to sell it. You had a museum piece.

Should be enshrined on a mantle with a few single-shot fully semi-automatic revolving magazine-clip thermonuclear rotating ballistic widescreen 3x5 index carded machine guns, throughout your house. This would discourage those from taking something of such value to be seriously above their level of intellect.

As I see it... you both won. You picked up a chunk of change and regardless of what he paid for it got a treasure to showcase.

I understand why guys don't want to smoke certain pipes but virgin taking a vow of chastity eludes me.
With all due respect and sincerity, perhaps a Catholic Nun would be in a better position to explain that, than I ever could.
