Message: <blockquote data-quote="ftrplt" data-source="post: 547712" data-attributes="member: 32">My question for ftrplt, and I'm not trying to pry, just understand, is the reason your two special pipes remain unsmoked because you purchased them as an investment, or are trying to retain the resell value should you need to divest sometime in the future? Or maybe it has to do with a sense of stewardship like a museum curator who takes pride in his collection?</blockquote>A good question deserving of a (I trust) good answer!!I've never bought a pipe as an investment nor would I ever need to retain the resale value as a precursor to divestiture. The two subject briars were purchase as I would any pipe...I bought'em because I liked'em!! These two, however, I've just never been able to bring myself to smoke! And, quite frankly, with 150+ others to enjoy, I'm OK with that!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> :cheers: FTRPLT[/QUOTE]
