The perfect pipe

[Ronv69]

I'm over it.

I have had pipes that cost more. Not many but some. If I was still smoking regularly I would consider sending one of my Deluxe System pipes to hers for a stem. But I haven't felt like a pipe in over 2 months so I don't know.

You could be the only person in PSF history to own a NAP stemmed pipe. Just sayin.. Also, i’d like to hear how the stem actually feels from a normal person. No pressure

Jim has one from the first batch. I'll ask him next time I talk to him. The other owners say that it works great for draw and flavor, but dries out the mouth.

I used to have a problem where a P-Lip dried out my mouth. When I revisited the P-Lip this year, I did not have that problem. Maybe i’m more hydrated.

What's goin' on? Is it the heat? Are you otherwise feeling ok?

They said that it dries out the sides, cheeks.

I have had my ups and downs, but I'm mostly OK. I am sure that the heat had something to do with it. But I just don't have any desire to smoke a pipe right now. I hope it comes back.

Why is it shocking? As I recall, he isn't crazy about it, but I'm not sure.

I apologize. I forgot to use the sarcasm font

Good Morning Gents,

I think I have spent far to much on pipes to date, but I will make an effort to never justify those purchases to avoid offending the sensibilities of this community. I hope the community will in tern withhold chastisements. I have only six pipes as I begin my second week of smoking, the sixth arrives today. Going forward, I plan on adding 2 or 3 more pipes each year. My primary rule is that if I can't afford to smoke the pipe, I can't afford to purchase the same. No pipe will ever just sit in a box deprived of my personal attention without consideration of the capital costs or depreciation in value of acutely smoking the pipe. I might have ten years left before I pass, perhaps more, perhaps less, Providence willing, and I pray that any man that purchases one of my estate pipes' will do so as a restoration project.

Perfection is a fiction.

Warmest Regards,
Richard

Thinking about favorites and perfect and all that . I do have a number of them . Mainly because Ive had a number of collections [ long story ] and I kept only a few from each and needed up with what I have .. plus what Ive acquired since selling off the last collection

A far as frequency , My best smoking and absolutely stunning beautiful pipe , a large Mastro de Paja Dublin , I dont get to very often . Mostly because a majority of my smoking is during work and doing shit outside etc ... and I dont bring my ' gems " to work or out in the property ... and , by not doing so , makes teh occasion when I do smoke it a special occasion which I really enjoy . Maybe when I retire , if that ever happens ... Ill ditch most of my pipes and just keep the total gems and smoke/abuse the hell out of them . We'll see
