Oh good, I was afraid that you were going to be one of those guys who constantly tells us how stupid we are for talking about stuff that you don't care to read, ha ha. We've had them.

I bet that ten years ago, guys didn't discuss washing their pipes out with water after each smoke. :

Year or two ago I Couldn't believe that this forum has become a part of my daily life, but at least, something good, I can keep practicing further my literary English here,lol,
I think pipe smoking changes slowly over time. I think we are led to believe that there is more change because we are the knowledge seekers delving deeper. This forum is dangerous for the wallet but great for the brain.
Whether the process of smoking a pipe, choosing tobacco and etc changes may be more an individual thing than a collective one. For many people pipe smoking invokes a sense of nostalgia which may delay any major changes.
As far as the world goes I think, but don't know, that there are fewer and fewer pipe smokers with every passing decade. The current paucity of pipe smokers in public is a major change from periods of time when pipe smoking was commonplace.

I think one thing the Internet has brought us is a means to access the knowledge of passionate enthusiasts in many various subject areas. Pick any hobby and there will be those who give it much more focus than the average consumer of that product. There are also degrees to which one can be involved. For example, after years of spending too much money on multi blade mediocre performing disposable shaving cartridges & being dissatisfied with electric razors- I did some research on wet shaving forums. I’ve been shaving with a double edge razor for some years now & am happy with the results. I found what works for me and need nothing else. In contrast, there are guys who collect razors and know all the history and characteristics of blades, razors, soaps, creams, brushes, etc.
I suspect the same elements come into play with pipesmoking.

Ember, Bassbug...that's just crazy! You could forget what you were doing and cut yourself badly. No, No, No.
I've actually suffered worse from an unnoticed hole in the screen of an electric. Been wet shaving since I was 16, and couldn't be more satisfied. After seeing how expensive cartridges are now, no way I would go back! The straight razor at the top of my pic is over 200 years old with buffalo handles.
