Good Starter Pipe
So I'm looking around for a good starter pipe and figured I would see what you guys here had to say. I don't want to spend a ton of money right now, but is there a "go-to brand" of pipes that are a safe buy even for a cheaper pipe?
Any websites I could use would be a great help too...I'm litterally starting from scratch here. Thanks!! :D |
Re: Good Starter Pipe
I started off with this little Peterson, about $54.00, awesome pipe, I have since purchased 2 Jake Hackerts, but this little guy is still one of my favorites.

Re: Good Starter Pipe
Missouri Meershaum Corn Cobb Pipe, is great way to start. Not as flashy, or "sophisticated" but they smoke pretty well and they dont cost much at all. Great for a beginner!

Sav Naturals are great and they run for less than 40 I think. LaRocca are decent and can be had for as low as mid 30's. Also, though I havent owned one, Jobey I hear are decent too, and run 40's-50's, but I'd definitely read some reviews before you buy anything. I like pipesandcigars.com for starters, good prices on tobacco also.

OP: Either way Jim, now you have two opinions. The Peterson is definitely snazzy! |

Re: Good Starter Pipe
Awesome...thanks everyone. I really like that Peterson!!
I'll have to check out that website and get going on this. :D |
Re: Good Starter Pipe
yeah, I really like mine. Small, easy for me to deal with, very lightweight, I often think about ordering a 2nd one. :tu

Re: Good Starter Pipe
Are there any "go to" brands of pipe tobacco to start with? I'm reading a bunch of reviews, but I don't know one brand from another at this point.
I saw some tobaccos that were black cherry and other flavors like that...are those worth it? I'm kind of curious to see what those are like. One more question: Should I follow the same rule as cigars when choosing a lighter...not to use any liquid fuel lighters and stick with butane? |

As for lighters, Go with butane, soft flame, or matches, at least to start with. There are varying opinions on using torches, so you'll have to figure out what side you're on. |
Re: Good Starter Pipe
Thanks M.J.
I would really like to try some of the aromatic tobaccos on the sweet side. I was looking at some of the sampler tins (Cherry/Wine/Vanilla): http://store.pipesandcigars.com/samplers.html |

As a new piper you might want to check out the above thread also... |

I was looking at that thread this morning...definitely looks like a great way to try some different tobaccos. |

Go figure...it was all in the instructions...Doh!! :bh I was thinking this would work like the cigar NST...guess that's what I get for assuming. :D |
Re: Good Starter Pipe
So apparently that Peterson is a popular pipe. I ordered one a little over a week ago and it looks like they are still back ordered.
That's usually a good sign though...I can't wait. :tu |
