[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 502052, member: 1211"] In today's climate of instant gratification and 200MPH multi-tasking, try to avoid the idea that you will know, or need to know, everything in the first month or two. Ultimately, you can know as little, or as much, as you want. Pipe smoking is an idiosyncratic, life-long pursuit (if you allow it to be). It's a leisurely, relaxing pastime, and the acquisition of knowledge and preferences should be, in my opinion, approached with that speed and long-game in mind. We are the tortoise. And absolutely, buy a nice pipe and an overpriced tin or two. Start high on the mark and with a fine instrument. You can smoke out of a potato, if you really want to, but I contest you would be selling the possibilities short. [/QUOTE]
