How to get started / see if I like pipes?

I'm a recent cigar smoker and I like the idea of pipes, but I have no idea how to get started. With cigars it was pretty easy. No smoke shops here, but I was out of town and all I had to do was buy a cigar to see what I thought. Pipes seem like they would be more complex to get acquainted with. I guess long story short: Where can I get started for fairly cheap, and what should I know?

- Thanks in advance
