[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 206623, member: 820"] Seems to me that the actual practice of smoking a pipe is pretty simple. There are a few techniques that can help avoid problems but given enough time most people can figure this stuff out on their own. I think expert status is more applicable to the knowledge which surrounds the practice itself. Some are collectors of specific pipe brands and have encycolopedia-like memories for nomenclature, dating, rarity, etc. Others master blenders who understand tobacco, it's varieties, and can use them in an artful and controlled way to create tasty blends. Saying I'm an "expert" smoker, however, is a little like saying I'm a hopscotch "expert". :P [/QUOTE]
