Hi to all from NE Penna and hopefully soon to be in upstate New York. I have been retired for just a year and am a complete newbie at smoking pipes coming from twenty-five years as a cigar smoker. For some reason cigars have just left me “bored” and un-entertained.
I had decided to try pipe smoking and went to a local tobacco store to see their inventory. Since I wasn’t sure if I would stay with this, I decided to purchase an inexpensive pipe. I purchased a cob for $10 and didn’t realize it at the time, but I ended up purchasing an MM Country Gentleman pipe.
Not having a large inventory of tobacco, I also purchased a pouch of Paladin Cherry and Cpt Black’s Cherry.
And obviously I went through all the trials and errors of learning to properly smoke a pipe but am enjoying the process and looking forward to learning a lot here on this site.
The real story of this enjoyable process is a bit of a long story and being an author (aka - like to talk a lot), I will post about it in the Beginners Section which will give you the option of skipping over it if you want. ?
