Hi, from Ontario Canada

[Grangerous]

Likely different but I haven’t bought my first pipe yet. I use to smoke cigars (just occasionally now) and I vape. I read that I should buy a cob pipe but I’m not a big fan of how they look. I see I’m in for a learning curve so I’m sitting back and reading through the threads to learn as much as I can. I see that there is a lot of knowledgeable people here so thank you in advance for my novice questions.

Your first pipe should appeal to YOU. You cant go wrong with choosing a first pipe if you’re excited about the pipe. And you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a great first pipe. Most all of the briar pipe makes are of good quality.

If you do choose a cob, now or later, I suggest any of the larger sizes. The Country Gent is my favorite.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome from Charlotte, NC. If you are looking for a briar pipe I would recommend Rossi. They are made by Savinelli and are extremely affordable. Smokingpipes.com has a very nice selection and are in the $40 to $60 range. The most popular shapes would br the 8320 KS and 8673.

Don’t dismiss cobs!!!! Cheap, brilliant smokers and perfect to learn the art with. You can always get a black pen and make yourself an exclusive poker style pipe ?
