Is it wrong...?

Frankly speaking I am a cigar smoker, who happens to enjoy pipe smoking also. Several months ago I bought this pipe that I thought would be good for me. As it turned out it was not. Since that time I have gotten a few other pipes and have never smoked that paticular one again. Today I gave that pipe to a friend at my work place. Is it wrong? Did I give up on that pipe to early? I really do not feel bad. I also know that my friend just went crazy over the pipe. So there you have it. How did I do for the first time on the pipe thread.
