I'm in!

Just pulled the trigger on a gorgeous Savinelli 673 and a few other ecoutrements to start my journey. Also got some Presbyterian blend and some My Mixture 965 from Peterson. Super excited to get started. I've been an avid cigar smoker for well over 12 years, been wanted to get into piping for a very long time, having briefly dabbled a bit in the past. Excited to be part of this community, will keep you all posted on my journey...

Congrats! It’s all downhill from here. There is no end, but it’s a fun ride!

Make sure to hit this thread up with your opinion on the two blends and folks will be able to make some additional recommendations based on your feedback.

Agreed. @JRW11b what line of 673 did you get?

Welcome from Central Oregon. You have made good choices for a good start. It may take you a bit to figure things out; however, stick with it and you will find so many wonderful flavors.

 

[OverMountain]

You have excellent taste already! A big welcome!

I'm a Florida native, and a (often disappointed) gator fan. So when I saw the 673 in the blue alligator finish, I had to have one. I really like this shape, and the Savinellis in my collection never let me down.



Excellent choice @JRW11b please share a few pics when it arrives!

Welcome from New Zealand, and I love that Presbyterian blend. You will find the flavour wheel of pipe tobacco to be much broader than cigars!

Welcome from Alabama. Be careful, it can become addictive. Just like potato chips, you can’t stop at one.

Welcome from Kansa City!
Great choices - yoo’re starting with a good pipe and two blends I really like. You may find that pipe smoking involves a little more technique than cigar smoking but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s very rewarding.

Welcome!
That sounds like a solid way to start.

You got a great start! I have to admit, you are starting off better than I did by far.

Additional kudos on the blend choices. They should be fairly easy to learn & appreciate, and provide a good foundation for your journey.
