    New to the Hobby

    Hi all! New to the hobby of pipe smoking. Never been a smoker but have never been opposed to taking a fine cigar when spending time with friends. I rather enjoy a good cigar now and then, but I find that cigars taste better than they smell. It's not that I dislike it - I have come to...
