Hello, all. I'm just starting my pipe journey. Looking to learn, and I'm also looking for good tobacco shops. I've found some interesting threads on Pipes in Japan. So that's were I'm heading next1
Welcome from Oklahoma, USA! I am curious as to what pipes you have? I know Japanese style tobacco pipes have some small bowls and long stems traditionally, is that still the case?

Thank you! Those small bowl pipes are called 'kiseru' and you smoke a fine cut tobacco in them. I've never tried one. My current pipe is a cheapish billiard style briar, which I bought in the UK whilst visiting family.
