How many is too many?

Is there such a thing as having too many pipes?
I think I might have too many pipes. Last count, I had 86 of them and I'm nervously searching eBay for old Dunhill's and de Paja's. Do I have a problem? Is there something wrong with me? Is it wrong that I absolutely love getting that old, crusty estate pipe in the main, reaming it out, polishing it, buffing the stem an filling it with Gawith Commonwealth? True, I don't have enough room to store them all, but I HAVE to have them! Is it possible that there is such a thing as having too many pipes? It is possible to upset the Earth's rotation by concentrating so much heavy briar is one place? Help me out, people! Anyone else with this problem?

I don't think 86 is too many; I happen to have EXACTLY the same number myself. Except that I just ordered 2 more an hour ago from smokingpipes.com. I've bought a few estates, but buy mostly new and all on line. I live in Sydney, Australia and there are no pipe shops of consequence here. With a collection of about a dozen different tobaccos, it gives me a heck of a range of colours and flavours to choose from, according to mood. If you're going to have an addiction, better it should be pipe collecting than any number of others I can think of.

I can answer your question quite simply...no such thing as too many!
