Vegas Baby!!!
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. View attachment 65065View attachment 65066View attachment 65067View attachment 65066
I two Charles Maas pipes. an 1898 and an 1899. They both get smoked regularly, but I’m me. I throw no shade to someone who wants to keep them pristine.
