    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    I'm sorry, I worded that wrong - do you think that the Nording Natural pipe from Fincks is of higher quality than this one from CupOJoes? Nording Nording

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    But overall, you think the one from Finck is of higher quality than the one from CupOJoes?

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    So the one you linked from Bill Finck is a higher-quality pipe than the one I found on CupOJoes? I wasn't able to locate any other Nording Naturals to compare the price to the one you listed.

    Not really sure what you mean? Is that good or bad?

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Thanks for the links! I am really interested in the Nording line(s)...do any of you have experience with them? I looked around for some more and found a few that really caught my eye, and they are pretty much the max I'd be willing to pay for a pipe ($55-60). The one I like is linked here...

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    I may do that. I was gonna get a can of the Brigadier Black Bull Run to test out aromatics, and I was going to sample some of the Frog Morton blends as well. And now the Hearth & Home sampler is teasing me. lol

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    I really like the looks of this Sav Roma Rhodesian pipe (http://pipesandcigars.com/sarosapi504r.html#.UMYqEIPBFic). The price makes me hesitant though...Any of you have a pipe like this that could provide some feedback?

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Gotcha. $100 is a bit steep for me, but I may end up investing into a lower end Savinelli rather than a Dr Grabow. The only issue I have is that there are no B&M stores close to me, so I'm in a situation where I have to purchase a pipe based on looks (rather than being able to purchase based...

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Have any of you purchased the 3 pipes for $60 from P&C? Was hoping some of you have and could provide some feedback about the quality of the pipes you received.. http://pipesandcigars.com/3pifor5as.html

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Morton - thanks! Definitely encouraged by the warm welcomes and friendly advice all of you have offered. Are there any specific sampler packs from P&C you'd recommend for someone who's never smoked a pipe before?

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Awesome, thanks for the input! I was just curious because a lot of ppl recommended corn cob pipes, but advised to get them from a specific site. I know that in P&C they are listed under Missouri Corn Cobs - didn't know if that mattered.

    Tips for purchasing first pipe?

    Are any of you familiar with ordering pipes (in this case, specifically corn cob pipes) from pipesandcigars.com? I'm probably going to end up getting a cheaper cob (like the Washington) and then use it and the cheaper dr grabow I got from ebay to sample different tobacco types. After that...

    Brigadier Black

    Do you think the BB blends would be more suited for someone who has never smoked pipe before than, say, the traditional 'beginner' tobacco - 1Q? I am a bit hesitant just because of the fact that the smallest amount I'd be able to purchase is 8oz of the BB blends. I though it through and was...

    Brigadier Black

    Thanks for the help everyone! I'm in the Southern Wisconsin area, somewhat close to Madison. I have smoked cigars before, but really only one or two higher-quality cigars. Other than that just the occasional swisher sweets. And yea that's what I originally planned on doing - 1 oz of this, 1...

    Brigadier Black

    Another question to consider...do any of you feel that a specific Brigadier Black flavor is/could be well suited for a beginner pipe smoker?

    Ebay Pipes

    Thanks for the info everyone! And ejames - yea I haven't really been able to find much info - it should be here today or tomorrow though. Wasn't aware that it came with a stinger, but then again I'm not familiar with whether or not that's a good thing lol. Should be interesting to see how it...

    Brigadier Black

    Yea that's what I wanted to do, but there are no tobacconists around my area unfortunately
