My First Pipe Recommendation
The trouble with some of the above recommendations is that an extended breaking in may be required. This means a newbie will have to do this. Cobs are ok more or less instantly. I suggest this alone makes them the best choice for a beginner.- Sgetz

Health Concerns.
This is essentially saying all risks are equal . But they demonstrateably are not. Most research shows as intake increases so does risk. If you smoke a couple of bowls a week your risk is very low. But smoke 10 or 14 per day as some do your risk is very high. We are free to choose, thank...- Sgetz
