Obsessive Pipe Dedication Syndrome

Sounds like she has the right mentality for the hobby, just needs to relax.

I would say that relaxation is indeed the one thing she needs most in life. The poor girl is high-strung.

I've only gazed toward the rabbit hole; I have pipes for Aros and non-Aros - that's it.

Didn't we have a guy on here who used those retail tags on strings to remember which pipes were dedicated to which? I wonder if he still lurks on here or if he went totally nuts, ha ha.

My pipes are in about seven or eight different racks, each rack holding five to twelve pipes. I put the pipes dedicated to each type of tobacco together in their own rack...for the most part. My system is less specific than yours, as I dedicate pipes to: Standard Virginia's, Stoved Virginia's, Virginia's with Perique or Burley, Light English, Heavy English, Straight Burley, Lakelands, Sweet Aromatics and I have a couple of meers that I use for testing new blends that might ghost. In amongst these sub-categories I have various pipes that are dedicated to specific blends, but I know exactly which pipes these are and they are racked up with pipes of the same sub-category. This Pipe sequestration doesn't seem anal or pedantic to me....I suppose that shows how anal I really am!

Retail tags? Okay, I'm not as obsessed as I once thought.
Philobeddoe, I like the rack idea; which means I have something new to focus on. Thank you, sir! ... it's good to hear that I'm not the only one.
