Not sure if the OP is a Millennial or not, but I see this a lot with Millennials. They get interested in something and try to absorb everything in five minutes. It's one of the many aspects the internet has proven to NOT be a useful tool. Hear about an interesting genre of music? Download every important album of said genre, listen to it all in a week, and then move onto the next genre. Get into wet shaving? Within three months, they have a dozen $200 razors, a couple dozen expensive brushes, and seventy-five shaving soaps. And so on and so on and so on. Check back with them in a year, and they can barely remember the music and no longer wet shave. A series of ravenous consumption with very little satisfaction or staying substance. They seem to go through friendships at this rate too, but that's for another discussion. Their smart phones are re-wiring their brains. They sort of remind me of the newly retired people I've met. They can't sit still. They don't know what to do with their time. Ultimately, they're giant bundles of anxiety seeking anything that can give them even a moment of a semblance of satisfaction, and all it does is create more anxiety and less satisfaction. The new world can be really unforgiving for so many demographics.
So yeah, to reiterate, buy a pipe or two. Same for tobacco or two. Then stop with the buying. Rather than go an inch deep and a mile wide, go a mile deep and an inch wide. Explore and exhaust just those things.
