Welcome brother. Nice decision on the MM corncobs to start off with. In fact, Prince Albert in a Missouri Meerschaum corncob is still one of my favorite smokes to date. You should look at this thread and see about joining the trade.

The rules are on the page I linked but all you have to do is order a tin, or buy one, and send it to the experienced pipe smoker (their choice on what blend) and they will send you a sampling of different pipe tobaccos in return. You should really check it out if you decide you enjoy smoking what you have.
