[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 547684, member: 4458"] Nearly all my pipes get used on a regular basis, but I have a few pipes that I keep around only for display. Some of the big, elaborate carved meers, like the Old Man Dunhill Smoking his Pipe (pictured here) are just not practical on a day-to-day basis. Neither is the large gourd calabash. But I've fired them up a few times over the years. Heck, I've even tried my old antique German pipe, which is really awkward to handle (did those old Tyrolean mountain men actually use these on a regular basis?). Some of the really high end artisan creations also strike me as highly impractical in terms of actual usage. But if money were of absolutely no concern to me I could see the attraction of wanting one as an object of art. What I don't understand are those who own traditional high end pipes like Dunhills or Ferndowns who never fire them up. That's like owning a fine piano that never gets played. I'd want to know how those babies smoke!!
