MacB Dark Twist Roll Cake in a Mastercraft Algerian Briar bulldog with saddle bit. Bought this pipe from @BROBS last spring and it has remained one of my favorite smokers.

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

Those pipes waited 135 years to get to your hands and you're not going to smoke them?

Horn stems aren't my thing. Beautiful pipes though.

A rainy morning bowl of C&D Dreams of Kaddath in one of my favorite unmarked imperfects. I smoke almost exclusively from unfinished pipes (terrible, I know) but have really been enjoying this one lately... still on the fence about the tobacco.

Thanks for the kind words and advice on the pipes, I should have opened up a different thread really. I might leave it to fate, if I can find a cheroot holder to replace the missing one I’ll keep the set pristine (how many others can there be?), if not I’ll use them. I’m not in a rush and I feel lucky enough to have got them in the first place. Pondering the matter over with Exclusiv Black Cherry in a Nording Sailor.

I know I know... I wanna I really do. The stems and cigar holder are amber, I did a hot pin test.

I vote to smoke those beautiful pipes. I think you should still do a thread on it. Enjoy!

What I really like is taking advice from the Devil ?

Good Day Folks, MacB Classic in an Aldo Morelli.

Five Brothers in a Crown Sport pipe. I love smoking Five Brothers in this pipe, reminds me of my Grandfather’s old inexpensive pipe he would smoke Cutty Pipe in .

Go ahead and smoke them! is my opinion...

Close to finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

I'd say, smoke 'em, but then I'm not a collector for collection sake.

Hello comrades. I have Original R&M Blend No 53 in the meerschaum pipe, made by Ahmet from "White Pipes", in Turkey.
Things with Covid worsened lately in Athens and the area around. So, it was announced a while ago that we are going to enter a "hard lockdown" phase with more restrictions.
Let's stay optimistic I say. "Keep calm and smoke a pipe".

C&D Engine #382 in my deercob, trying to drink enough coffee to get motivated to go outside and put a magnetic oil pan heater on my van.

Good morning all. The Amphora Burley in an MM Country Gentleman.
