Newbie interested in Pipes

[Savor the Stick]

I am a newbie...don't even have a pipe yet. Really been wanting to give pipe smoking a try; but have been holding off until I get a job.

Ok! Question: Is it possible to get a pipe(corn cob) tobacco, and tamper for $20? This is about what I can afford to spend right now.
Or should I hold off until I find some work and start off with a better pipe?
Also good suggestions as to where I can get all this stuff,(pipe, tobacco(what tobacco to start), tool) with the least amount of green stuff.

Well hope there are not too many dumb questions here.
Thanks for the answers Guys,

Yeah Jeff is one of those best...the breed seems to be in danger of dieing off with every coming year. Good to see a lot on this site.

Well I think being unemployed could work to my advantage concerning THIS slope. Good time to learn the basics.

Nice work Jeff, you are an awesome BOTL.

Beside getting hooked up, the answer to your questions is yes; a cob, a few ounces of tobacco, tamp, and pipe cleaners all for under $20. That is here in Taxifornia too. A corn cob will surprise you with how well they smoke. I have a couple, the first one I bought is still used and abused, I will smoke several bowls out of it in one day.

I hope there are a couple tobacco's in there that you like, I'm still pretty new with the pipe and all the tobaccos myself.
