Hmm....buying multiple briar pipes before buying a single cob, only to later find out I really prefer cobs and acrylic stems with them. Lighter, smoke cooler and sweeter for me. Maintenance is far less, don’t have to polish and sand stems. They take a beating, are cheap compared to briar, etc.

This is me. I smoke cobs almost exclusively now. Sold or gave away most of my briars. I saved a few for various reasons, but rarely ever smoke them. I'll probably end up unloading the remaining ones as well at some point. In all the years I've been smoking pipes, I sure wish I'd figured this out earlier on.

Buying a few new briar pipes lately that I know I will never really smoke much, but they are pretty and look good on a small pipe rack I was not using. It's really cobs I enjoy and they don't need no rack.

Don't Feel like that... An intelligent person will take each person on their own merits...All Governments seem to do is make their citizens feel guilty for the acts of the Government
Not turning anything political, but most people are just people. Every country has their ideas on top of the pyramid, but at the end people are people. Everyone has troubles, hardships, doubts, and different beliefs. Social media has almost influenced all countries to a tremendous degree. You will notice a lot of overlapping ideas floating around. There is the bad and the good in each country. So for all that I am concerned, my only wish is to get the best out of each one here.

And thanks for the kind comment.
