Hope you make it thru the learning curve. If you haven't realized it pipe smoking is totally different from the other forms of tobacco use. Don't pack the pipe tightly and smoke slowly.
This is the friendliest forum I’ve ever joined! Thanks everyone! Looking forward to getting my head around pipe smoking. My little bro does and loves it. He steered me to a 1940’s Dunhill billiard and some corn cobs, as well as giving me some From Morton Cellar, and other favorites of his. I think I’m a little ruined now though- FM Cellar is amazing!!! ?
