[QUOTE="Tim_Haggerty, post: 333392, member: 1190"] It's tough, but be encouraged that a lot of us have done this. I actually avoided Virginia blends simply because they reminded me the most of cigarettes and that seemed to intensify the craving rather than assuage it. Instead, I got seriously into English blends and found that filling two bowls at a time helped a lot; either I'd smoke then back to back or, as I learned to savor a pipe more slowly (and was lessening my daily nicotine intake over time) I'd still have the other bowl ready and most tobaccos can stand up to a few hours drying time, even overnight. When the craving hit, the bowl was there and prepping it didn't seem like such a hurdle. Leaving a half bowl at your smoking location -- car, computer, whatever -- helps, too, though your car passengers may not appreciate it at first. This has the added advantage of giving you practice in filling. Like Pavlov's dog, it's all in the conditioning. And for a final trick, smoke a cigarette right after a bowl just to taste how rank and single-dimensional most of them are they are by comparison. [/QUOTE]
