One of the guys at our pipe club had a few pipes that were well over $1,000 and let some of us younger guys give them a run. I gotta say the one I smoked was very good, but not $1,000 good. What are your expereinces?
I have a friend that bought a three thousand dollar pipe a few years ago. He said it was a decent smoke but wished he had just divided it up and purchased six others, LOL. He ended up selling it recently. My only thought on four digit pipes, it must be nice to have that buying power.
@crapgame and @mhajec, I agree, there is no way I would spend that type of money on a pipe or lighter. If I ever do, please put me in my place. There are too many starving children who I should be helping rather than spending that amount of money on something pleasurable.
I'm with @mhajec on this one. I have trouble justifying spending even $40 on a pipe lighter when I can find classic lighters are antique/collectible shops for around $10 that work perfectly well.
@mhajec - glad to help. We also had some small ponds and drainage ditches which held water pretty good and would float those old plastic boats in them. Did you know that back in the 60s you could buy firecrackers that you could light and drop into the water like depth charges and they would explode.
LOL, I'll make sure to message you before the beginning of our shenanigans @PappyJoe, that way you can give us the safety briefing and then hoist the hot range flag.
@CretinDan That's how I felt when I first got in the hobby. Now, I have learned it can be worth buying more expensive pipes ($100 range). I only have a few near or over the $200 range and they were my birthday/birthyear pipes. Most of my pipes are around $100 or less and a majority are estates.
As an ant rights activist, I must say that I am highly offended by several of the previous posts. I expect my membership dues to be refunded immediately.

So yeah. As a newbie even a $200 pipe makes me choke on my own saliva.
Hmm, $1000 dollar pipes (Insane) to Bottle rocket hot wheelsw and Ant's rights.
