Good Starter Pipe

[KenyanSandBoa]

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?

What sort of tobacco do you want to try? Aromatic? Stronger, smokier? Naturally Sweet/Subtle/spicey? This would help a little bit with suggestions.

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.
