Hi my name is Matthew and I'm from Texas. I recently started smoking pipes. I bought a $3 corn cob pipe as a gage than i started to use it and I like the different Vive I get from it from it compared to a cigarette. I'm hoping to give up the cigarettes and to give my lungs a break. I did by a more proper pipe a Scotte Tobacco Pipe Handmade Ebony Wood Root Smoking Pipe I got online and some early morning blend. I do feel like there's still a lot to learn about this hobby so I do ask to forgive any ignorance. I'm just a guy looking to experience new things.
