Good point @lordofthepiperings (and the others who've stated similarly.)Smoke what ya like and don't worry about what others think or say.
I think if someone is an OTC / basket pipe smoker, say it loud and proud. Don't worry about what others might think. I'd bet they'd would discover a lot of people here would agree with them, but are also keeping quiet.
My grandfather smoked an OTC and pretty much never varied. Me, I can smoke the same aro day after day, but at the same time, I still like some variety. Whatever your preferences, it's as legitimate as anyone else's.
