In searching various web pages for pipes, I've also noticed in their "Estate Pipes" section, certain pipes that were not or never smoked. I figure that the original owner never got around to smoking the pipe, or were simply not smoking it for a potential investment or resale somewhere down the road.

For me, if I'm going to purchase a pipe, I'm definitely going to be burning some tobacco in it
