Murphy's Law and Pipe Smoking

Topaz75 · August 2016

The more money you spend on a pipe, the more likely it is that you will lose it or find some spectacular way of breaking it.

@topaz75 Agreed

I'm knocking on wood with this one. I haven't lost a pipe yet and only had to replace the tenon on two meerschaums.

I agree 100%!

Me too, never happens with a cob.

Yup. Has anyone seen my custom Mastro Beraldi? It's in my favorite handmade leather pipe pouch with a new bag of Old Toby.

Wear a favorite shirt while smoking.....you'll burn a hole in it.

@mangoandy - bottom desk drawer, right side.

For me, this was the case for when I first tried smoking a pipe. Almost everything that could go wrong, did, other than burning the garage down.

Haven't lost one yet - knock on wood.

Lost a Kaywoodie Flame Grain in the Judo Pit at MP school in Georgia, went back and found it tenon and stem broken, Mortice crushed.

I lost a nice half bent billiard with beautiful lucite stem worth $35.00 in 1983. Not sure how much that would be today, but it was a lot to me then.

First time I carefully smoked a beautiful old meerschaum I got off ebay, about halfway through, still quite cool, I heard it crack. Perfect ring around the tenon. Fell in two pieces shortly after.

yes

@NCAnGus dude that is tragic....my meerschaum split top to bottom on both sides of the bowl.
