Think of it as an experience and not a verb.
Smoke slowly they've said.

Slow is the way to go. When I keep the cherry burning just at the edge of going out, that's when I get the best flavors. Getting the moisture level correct helps facilitate that.
I don't use methods. They weren't around when I started smoking pipes. But if they help people enjoy a better smoke, then there's no harm done.
Pipe smoking is pretty simple. Load up, light up, sip, dump. It just takes a bit of practice to get to that simplicity.

I smoked slowly once. It was nice. It was a good day.
Everyone talks about slow. I talk about sipping. Barely draw out the smoke. That's what works for me. Though I find flavor to be a secondary part of the experience. Yeah I love it but, I just like smoking more. The way it feels and the something to do and focus on of it.
Everyone's perception of what is good is little different. We can all agree on slow is a good thing. As how slow and at what point the flavor hits sensory organ, you'll have to find it.
Yup! Technique, speed and depth for me are totally dependent on what I want out that particular smoke.
personally I find some blends really pop at different smoking intensities. Virginia and Oriental leafs seems to benefit most from going softly. Burly and Englishes seem better to me smoked slightly harder.
All the above.
But sometimes it's the magic of a blend that works well for YOU.
Old Dublin is one of those for me.
It's hard for me to prep it wrong and the cut, moisture, packability with how I do it, and any other factors seem to be just right for my style.

Happens all the time; if I'm following you correctly...Aaaand I've lost it.
Smoking slow goes back, waaaaay back...
Neither. P-lip is a choice, a preference for some.
