Going to give pipes a try.

[keith_mahoney]

So I read "getting started in pipes" thread and only half listened to the advice and jumped right in like a clueless noob.

I went over to pipesandcigars.com and ordered 2 country gentleman corn cob pipes with all the tools and required accessories.

I just couldn't bring myself to start out with cheap tasting, noob friendly, mass market tobacco though so I also ordered Steve B's elite VA sampler and on an email recommendation from Russ Ouellette I ordered some Stogie and Steamroller as well.

Hopefully I haven't shot myself in the foot with jumping straight to Virginia's but if all else then fails I can put these up in some canning jars, bite the bullet and go get something from Walgreens to ease myself into it.
