New on the Pipe Hobby

[jah76]

Welcome Brunow!
Just concentrate on the basics, packing, tamping, lighting, sipping, etc. There's reams on info here on the boards and tons of YouTube videos if your a sight based learner like me.
I've been at it for almost a year now and I 'm learning new stuff all the time.

Thanks, jah76 !
I'm looking for guides for starters so I can have a little knowledge when the pipes arrive :P

If you have any tips on how to take care of the pipe, please feel free to share.

Welcome to the forum Brunow. You have received lots of good advice so far.
+1 for Six and rothnh on the CB white.
I do like the pipe and tobacco bag that you first posted. That looks to be the best design that I have seen. The price was good too.
Happy puffing.

MacBaren - Scottish Mixture Standard (Honey, Grass, Butter)

Peterson - Conoisseur's Choice (Red Fruit, Sweet)

Lane Ltd - 1Q (Walnut, Rum, Sweet)

McClelland - Frog Morton (on the Town) / (Cellar) (Smokey, Sweet)

Samuel Gawith - Squadron Leader (Smokey, Oriental)

Dunhill - Early Morning Pipe (Oriental, Grassy)

MacBaren - Club Blend (Hay, Spice)
I consider great starter tobaccoes of very high quality, with quite forgiving smoking characteristics. They are across the bank though, from Aromatic (Conoisseur's) over Virginia (Club Blend/Scottish) to English (Early Morning, Squadron Leader).

Thanks, loneredtree and hfearly !
I'm thinking of getting that tobacco bag after all, I really liked it :P

Maybe the pipe as well, I haven't started puffing and I already want to buy several pipes haha
I'll look up those tobaccos, mate !

Thank you for sharing.
