Nice looking pipe. Is this your first pipe or just your first briar pipe?

I really like the style, proportions, the stem treatment, and rustication patterns. Nice hunk of wood! For 30 clams, how could you go wrong?
IF it's your first pipe, ever.....do it justice and learn how to enjoy smoking it. You-tube has great videos that explain the whole ritual, and tobacco choices. Please, please, treat yourself to a good blend, one that is not overly flavored with chemicals, and aromatics. Ask members of this forum to recommend a good mild-medium blend of tobaccos for the beginner smoker. Above all....relax, and smoke slowly.
Hope you love joining the club of pipe-smokers. It's a dying art.....revive it.
Again, nice pipe. Enjoy the learning curve.

This is my first braid I have been smoking a cob for awhile. I wanted to make sure that I knew how to get the most out of it before u took the leap.

My first cob smoked a lot better than my first briar, I ended up giving it away for free to a friend that wanted to try pipe smoking, count yourself lucky I really do like it's shape, if it has good airflow, it should be pretty enjoyable.
