[QUOTE="BriarPipeNYC, post: 547685, member: 4199"] Zero. I buy them to smoke them. Some I buy as knock-arounds, and some were bought because they demand special and reverential treatment. But I only have one or two of those "specials" ...and even they are smoked, too. Years ago I attended Gun and Knife show. Back when guns were made of steel, not plastic. Some high-end custom-made knives are works of art, and thus worthless as tools. Pipes, too can quickly become also useless, especially those flawless, super-grained, extravaganzas that cost a small fortune. Keeping pipes in pristine condition for collecting, was never one of my goals. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what strips your gears. I prefer to smoke my pipes, often, and use them as objects of utility. I'm just as happy smoking a refurbished, $35.00 estate pipe, as I am when smoking my few special, higher-priced super-pipes. But honestly, if I closed my eyes...I couldn't tell the difference. [/QUOTE]
