I am curious as to thoughts on vintage pipes. It does not freak me out to buy and use a pipe that someone smoked before. I clean them good and keep on.  This meerschaum is an example. It was obviously  favorite of someone in the past. It is going to be among my favorites.

   
Happy shaves to ya!

Agree comletely - they did the work breaking in the bowl.  You reap the benefits.  That sure is a pretty pipe and just the right size.  A lot or Meerschaum is way too big or fancy.  I was a premium cigar smoker for years until I gave up the beautiful brown leaf.  Fuente 858 was one of my favorites.

I don't smoke anymore, but when I did, back in the last millenium, I did buy used pipes. I miss my pipes.

I can't find pictures right now but I used to have a cool meersham pipe. Here is a church warden I really liked.

   

I also had a Ben Wade very similar to this one. I really miss that pipe.
