It Can Be Hard To Explain Our Hobby

"ask people if they like eating the same thing for every meal." -- That, & Jesse's idea of a collection bridge, Duane. Or like my Hawaiian shirts, all different, & usually reflective of my mood on a given day.
Lots of other good pieces of advice in the thread too, but the main thing is what you said -- Variety.

I accepted that for the vast majority of people pipe smoking is just smoking a tobacco in a pipe instead of rolling a cigarette or take one out of the pack. Those who show more interest with questions get answers but almost nobody can understand, so I stopped explaining how latakia and perique are produced, a simple "yeah, I smoke tobacco in a pipe" works better. Some friends want to try and get a tongue bite or cough while inhaling. :D I don't consider smoking a big virtue so I don't encourage it but who is ready to take responsibility for eventual health problems and wants to smoke as little aditives as possible, pipes are a great way to go.

I don't say much, just smile and change topic. I mostly smoke by myself anyway. I get tired of the "what's in that pipe dude?" ...as if it's weed. yawn.
