Sometimes I just lose the tasre for things for a while. I love single malts but once in a while I need to take a 6 Mo break. Same with pipes. Just need a break. When I return its just as good as when I first began. For me moderation is the key to enjoyment of all things.
Getting Bored

I enjoy the flavor and the relaxation.
I have to will myself to smoke anything except Granger and I have well over 50 blends to choose.
Its just something I do. A simple pleasure. I count myself lucky to enjoy one blend as much as I do.
I went through a spell of PAD - thanks in part to this forum. But I’m very satisfied with the 25 pipes in my collection.
Excitement was present with each pipe purchase. TAD isn’t an issue.
Contentment is what remains. I can live with that.
Codger? Maybe so.

I think this really accurately describes what’s happened to me. Except for the Granger part, my interest has always been in new blends.
I've been out of the loop so to speak for over two years. Had surgery and got sick on a heavy nic blend and lost interest. I would just look at my pipes and get nauseated, it sucked so bad. I have since packed up my stuff but think I'm going to bring it back out and give it a go, I'm getting that urge again which is a good sign. I just hope my jarred tobacco is still good.
So in short, it happens. You can always come back later if the urge returns.

Sounds like a "Jack and Diane" moment... "Oh yeah, life goes on. Long after the thrill of living is gone..."
My whole smoking career has been boring from day one. I like it that way.

I'd say you need to change your pipes up a bit
I smoke a pipe to get slowly "baked" by the nicotine in the tobacco via absorption, whilst enjoying some amazing flavors and aromas. I do not inhale.
It's still a hobby for me and I am far from bored.

Correction:I’m just here for the chicks.
You're just here for the chick but she got bored and left, so.....
I don't do well with options. Two options I can choose from, three or more, and my brain explodes. But my life is so consumed around nicotine, that it doesn't really bother me, as long as I get it.An old Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times"

Lewis and Tolkien did meet to smoke and drink. They met to talk. Smoking and having pints were a side line.
I've had exactly the same feelings a few times recently. I attribute at least some of it to having tried most of the blends I was curious about and getting my cellar to a comfortable size for my anticipated tobacco needs. I've been through the bored cycle a few times now, and when it happens I just put my pipes down until I spontaneously feel like smoking. Sometimes it's a couple of days, sometimes a week or more. Another thing that can get me interested is to go through my open tins (I have a bunch) and find something I've forgotten about or haven't had in years.
I smoke with open arms to boredom. Thinking is the enemy. I can not stress how little I think..
If you want excitement, take a pinch of 6Photo Cheeta before you put match to bowl. That should get your heart goin' ?

Smoking is what you do while you’re doing something else….?
Exactly! Reading, writing, thinking, drinking, talking, driving, inking (jiminks), etc.
