New pipe smoker here.
I've never really smoked, and had no idea pipe tobacco was so nuanced and complex. As with other fermented things, the complexity makes sense in hindsight, but I just had no idea of the richness and depth of pipe tobacco. The contemplative, slow, and peaceful nature of smoking a pipe amazes me as well; I'm really enjoying the experience so far.
