[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 553250, member: 1211"] You could be running into something other than snootiness. Pipers are opinionated. Pipers are strongly opinionated. People with strong opinions tend to lack the ability to get out of the way of themselves, so when they genuinely want to be helpful, their own biases get in the way of it all. What he said isn't completely out of line or without reason. Like anything with taste, you do benefit from developing the palate. It can be a difficult line. The majority of new pipe smokers will follow the route of aromatics and fruity blends. A much smaller percentage will fall in love with English and VAs. So a seller can sometimes be wary of scaring off a new client with a poor smoking experience. I used to work in a shop, and it is a weird, unpredictable dance. Of course, it never hurts to treat people well. We never refused to sell anything to anyone, but you can bet your last dollar that we steered people away from things. [/QUOTE]
