New pipe smoker!

J0eybb · 06-22-2010, 11:11 AM

Me...

I'm new to all smokeing, cigars and pipes. This has been interesting. I'm not sure what I enjoy more just yet. Maybe I shouldn't take on two new hobbies at once. I think, more than anything, I enjoy the peace the most.

I just ordered a cob online for under $10, I'm cheap, what can I say. I was searching ebay, but I didn't want to waste money, on something I know nothing about.

I'm going to have to read over the old fart thread. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Definitley check out the NST for pipes:

It's a great way to get to try a bunch of different baccy and figure out your flavor profile.

Second Jim's suggestion. Have at a round or two in the Newbie Trade Thread. Get yourself some tobaccos to try. As for pipes, cobs are fine. Many smokers have a few to try. I would stick with cobs for a little as you learn to smoke. I have a few briar pipes that I purchased early on and have sadly beat the hell out of learning to smoke.

My first pipe was a cobb, and as a "regular" pipe smoker, I still smoke my cobbs. They're cheap, and loyal! Enjoy the new slope!!

Welcome! I also recommend the NST; it'll get you a good smattering of samplers to try and will hopefully help you find something that piques your interest. And cobs may be inexpensive but they're quite practical and good smokers. Enjoy.

You're going to love smoking a pipe! You decide how long and how much you'd like to smoke. I've also found those normally opposed to cigars (and cigarettes) welcome the smell of a pipe. I get tons of comments while smoking my pipe out on the stoop. Enjoy!
