About thirty years ago I spent $75 at Springfield Missouri for this magnificent Bari Wiking large egg pipe, from a man who must have been Carlie Rich’s twin brother separated at birth.
The seller claimed he’d bought that pipe and some others from the estate of a lawyer who’d babied his pipes like they were his children. Normally the Charlie Rich twin guy sold new high dollar meerschaums, but he’d also deal in high end estate pipes, showing them only to selected customers.
For thirty years I’ve smoked another lawyer’s pipe, and I’ve kept it nice.
We don’t really own nice pipes like this one.
We are just granted the privilege of enjoying them, during our time.
