    First Smoke Was Not Pleasant. Advice for a Newbie?

    Want to switch from cigars. Need advice.

    thank you again guys. I will need to spend some time figuring out what pipe is best for me. just wanted to make a point that when I said I want to reduce the costs of me smoking. I meant literally price of tobacco. Pipe and tools are set aside. I do understand value of good things (otherwise I...

    Want to switch from cigars. Need advice.

    wow thank you guys. I havent tried anything yet. I understand what you guys are saying about not replicating the cigars but finding my own pipe experience. I am now thinking and it seems I asked about replication rather of a fear to lose certain qualities.. So what I should really have asked...
