Hello! Don't pull the pipe smoke into your lungs. Take a slow draw-hold in your mouth-blow it out.

Get a decent cheaper briar and some Lane 1-Q. Surf this forum and soon you will have 30 pipes and 50 open tins. No- you do not need to nor should you inhale.

Welcome from Northern NV by way of Asheville, NC.
That St nick will be a solid starter pipe. I would recommend starting with some Carter Hall or Sir Walter Raleigh. Very forgiving tobaccos that will deliver good flavor and a nice room note, while allowing you room to learn proper packing and cadence without melting your tongue off.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add those to my list.

Hello! Don't pull the pipe smoke into your lungs. Take a slow draw-hold in your mouth-blow it out.

That's exactly my plan. I was a heavy smoker for many years... 2 or more packs a day. I smoked both cigars and pipes just like cigarettes. If I can't smoke without inhaling then I'll have some used pipes for sale!

They don't ship, at least to my knowledge. Just a shop I stop at whenever I'm in the area. They carry some good tinned blends, many that have sat on the shelves for a few years. But they also carry new releases.
You may actually be closer to Laudisi or maybe McCranies as far as a B&M goes.
Either way, welcome!

Hey from central North Carolina. Savinelli is a good brand so most any of their pipes that strike your fancy is likely to work out well. Incidentally, most filter pipes smoke perfectly well with or without the filter, so excursive that option and try it both ways. Welcome aboard.
