I have a little conundrum. I won this 1886 Charles Maas pipe set the other day when the person who outbid me by a fair amount couldn’t pay. Recherche means excellence, the finest choice, even obscure depending on the context so these pipes must be among the best produced by Maas. Anyway it turns out that “carefully smoked” meant not smoked at all and I don’t know if I should use them. It almost feels like I’d be desecrating something beautiful. I’d appreciate your opinions please because all I do at the moment is stare at them. 
There’s a amber cheroot holder missing from the set so I’m on the hunt for a replacement, not that I smoke cigars but it’s always better to have something complete.
Currently enjoying some Wessex Burley Slice, a few years of age, in my newest pipe. Noticing the coloring verses my smoking buddy here is not to bad so far IMHO. Y’all have a good day.

I'd say you stumbled onto a great piece of history. I wouldn't smoke them, but they're yours to do with what you will. The fact that they're unsmoked is really something. Excellent find
Beautiful! I understand your hesitation but since I’m not so much a collector as a smoker, I’d smoke em. Congratulations on snagging those beauties!
Smoking some Solani 633 topped off with some leftover dried McClelland 40th Anniversary, in a IMP billiard.
First pipe of the day. Solani Silver Flake Blend 660 - 2011 in my Dunhill Cumberland Squat Bulldog #5117. Subzero here. Heading for the shop to start veneering a Windsor Side Arm writing chair I made with Walnut Burl on the side arm surface.

Beautiful Pipes! Smoke em!? Without question or hesitation would be my advice. I'd treat the bowl of the briar though, before smoking it. Water & honey has always worked for me.
