The first thing, you should do, is scroll down through the threads, here in the "Pipe discussion" area, and read through the thread called "New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart".
There are a ton of questions from noobs, and many, many answers from the experienced members of CA who are knowledgeable about all things regarding pipes and tobaccos!
It was one of the
first things I did, when I decided to return to pipe smoking!
I'm sure you will get some good advice there!!
