New Pipe Smoker
I dont think I will sell my first pipe regardless of how poorly it smokes. I took the advice given by Lawrence to heart. I admit Tolkien was a big influence in getting me to try this out. You are wrong bigvan, in fact the first pipe I came here with was a fantasy inspired churchwarden on ebay...- sojin

Haha, well then. I ordered the LUNA a little earlier, having checked back here before I did, and now I check back and see the last six posts suggesting I do otherwise, haha. Oh well, I am not one to get discouraged by things like tough cleaning and what not. Though I obviously will stray away...- sojin

Ok guys, so I think everything has worked out wonderfully. The owner of LUNA pipes and I exchanged some emails, and he has helped me out a great deal in regards to my financial situation. He has offered me a factory second pipe for a great price, and it is made of briar. I really think I will be...- sojin

That is really cool looking. How much did that run you, if you dont mind my asking? Here is another pipe I have bookmarked. I really enjoy this look, and am starting to think this or something similar might be my first pipe. Though I would prefer something a little bigger. The measurements are a...- sojin

Yeah, I had decided early on that I wouldn't be buying that pipe. Right now my heart is set on the LUNA pipe, but I really want to listen to everyone and start with a briar. So right now my mind is telling me to either save another few bucks and get the Briar bowl maple stem Ranger from LUNA, or...- sojin

Thanks. I am blown away by how helpful and informative everyone here is being. That is a good point, I will take a look at some straight ones as well. How does one go about drying it? Just leaving it out a few hours beforehand? Again, thank you all. At this rate I will be a seasoned expert by...- sojin

Will do. I like the sound of Shortcut to Mushroom from justforhim. I read an old post here about Longbottom Leaf there and I wanted that pretty bad. I love vanilla, so the mere mention of it was very exciting, but it seems to be discontinued there. What does Halflings leaf taste of?- sojin

Thanks again toker. Hmm, not having previous experience, I am having trouble thinking of the factor of it being uncomfortable. I can see the hygiene problem, though, I am a bit of clean freak/germaphobe, so I will be very thorough with my cleaning and care. I couldn't avoid searching for some...- sojin

Hey guys, I really appreciate all of the tips you all are giving me. I know I shouldnt start cheap, but currently my income, or lack thereof, will not allow me to spend much more than fifty dollars. So I do not think I will be getting the pipe off ebay, I am still looking around. I found some...- sojin

Yeah, he does have great feedback. I just wanted to get a second opinion from the experts, haha. I would like to get a briar one, as from what I have seen so far, briar is well favored. But the only design I really enjoy from any pipe I have seen is the one I have linked. What are the downsides...- sojin

New Members, Introduce Yourself!
Hello. I am Rob and I have not yet begun collecting pipes, but I am about to start. I am still looking for my first pipe. I am eager to start, I can't wait to sit out on my patio and enjoy the weather with a pipe. I don't imagine using it more than a few times a year, but it seems very relaxing.- sojin

Hello. I have just decided to sign up here to get informed in a hobby I am about to make a venture in. I am looking to get my first pipe, and being a huge Tolkien fan, I am looking at pipes that look like Gandalfs, from the film. At first, I was looking at the McQueen(I believe thats the...- sojin
