Pipe acquisition disorder, or PAD, keeps Forums online, since our sponsors support Forums to sell pipes (and tobacco). So I don't want to discourage pipe purchases, however there is a point in a stable of pipes, or the fluctuations of a budget, when it is good to take time out from buying pipes. Here are a few of my techniques. What are yours? 1) Buy tobacco instead. This works from time to time, but I also have some years supply of blends, with more on the way. 2) Clean the pipes you have. This impresses you with all of the tools you have to smoke and may re-introduce you to pipes you'd almost forgotten you have. 3) Take a cold shower. 4) If you have quite a few pipes, pick out a rotation of seven and smoke those in rotation, so when you get back to the others, it will seem like you have a whole new selection. So how do you evade PAD?
