Thanks for all the tips guys. Ive been doing some extensive research all week reading forums and going to tobaccoreviews.com. Just like when I started cigars 5 years ago my head is spinning from all the cool pipe info. Sure is fun though to peak down a new slope.
I can only hope my wife takes a liking to the smell and lets me continue my indoor hobby.
As stated before Ill be smoking in my basement its finished with furniture. I have half linoleum and half carpet flooring...Is stale pipe smoke unwelcoming or a problem? Should I be worried about lingering smells like I do with cigars? Should I open a window, turn on a fan?
