Thoughts On My First Smoke
Didn't get a chance to smoke this weekend. Stepped on a three inch nail in the backyard Saturday morning so I've spent the last two days laid up. Hopefully I'll get one in some time in the next few days. As always, I appreciate the advice!- jbchilders

Thoughts On My First Smoke
Got my second smoke in yesterday afternoon. Definitely some progress. - Only used six matches from my initial light to finishing the bowl, down from ten in my first smoke. - I didn't take very long draws this time, instead I took more frequent small draws. The bowl never got as hot and my ember...- jbchilders

Thoughts On My First Smoke
*This might run a little long, but I wanted to write it while it was fresh on my mind. Feel free to give any thoughts or input.* All of my supplies came in today, so I decided to have my first smoke.

So New I Haven't Even Started
Thank you all for the advice! It's been a busy work week but I've finally had the time to read through everything and do some research. I'm ordering my supplies now so I wanted to fill everybody in.

So New I Haven't Even Started
Some specific questions I'm searching the forums for answers to: Filtered vs. non? Importance of bowl/bit shape? Reliable online resource for buying tobacco? I'm also trying to find a solid starter tutorial. As I said, I've never smoked a pipe and I've never even known anyone who has, so I truly...- jbchilders

So New I Haven't Even Started
Hello all! Longtime cigar smoker here and I've decided I'd like to get into pipe smoking. I've literally never tried a pipe or known anyone who smoked one, but there's something about the simplicity and dignity of it that appeals to me. Given my ignorance, I'm looking for any and all advice for...- jbchilders
