[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 427435, member: 2318"] I think most pipers who've been at it awhile have personal rituals related to their hobby. It's evolution. At one point, years ago, I stopped smoking while doing something else -- yard work, cleaning the garage, etc. Now, when I'm smoking my pipe, it's almost always outdoors and smoking is my primary activity at the time. (Watching the tide come in or the stars come out is secondary..) As a result of this change, I've become much more conscious of my breathing pattern while smoking. Also, I now tend to favor smaller bowls. And I'd now describe my purpose as relaxation. But I wouldn't argue that my preferences are the Correct Way and that more casual smokers are doing something wrong. It's just the direction I went in over the years without much thinking about it.
