Give it about 50 years or so, and you'll start to get the hang of it.

I personally don't use methods, but if others find them helpful, that's a good thing.

At its essence, smoking a pipe is really simple, and for me, one of the signs that I'm dealing with a newbie is the added complexities, theories, and "discoveries" that they bang on about. With time, they get over that.

You practice, you experiment, you make some connections, and you get better at it.
