New Piper Here....

[mojoe]

Hello Everyone,
Just received my first pipe about 20 minutes ago.....a Wessex Standard with a bent bit. Also got a tin of Ole Shenandoah No. 76 and a pouch of Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish. All from pipesandcigars.com. I'm pretty pleased with everything, and plan to light up my first bowl tomorrow evening. I'm sure I'll have some questions, already had to call on youtube to learn how to properly open my tin, so stay tuned.
Take Care,

joe

Welcome, mojoe. Opening a tobacco tin was recently covered on this forum and I have attached the link. Dig through the “Pipe Smoking Basics & Beginner Questions” folder for an amazing amount of helpful information from great folks.

Thanks again. Here's a forum question....how do I get an avatar to show next to my post rather than the "?". I've uploaded and cropped an image already, but nothing shows up.
Thanks
