Do compliment your wife for her latest QVC purchase, especially if you expect a new pipe to arrive in the next few days.

Do be sure to savor every moment of life you can while a pipe dangles from your mouth.
Don't listen to anyone regarding what pipe and/or tobacco you enjoy. If you enjoy it, smoke it. Life is too short not to.

Danielplainview,
That video had me rolling, you have to admit that no one spoofs the pipe smoker better than another pipe smoker, I hope to see more from this guy. The UL duct tape was a nice touch.

Don't smoke a pipe while operating a snow blower.
If you do make sure you are smoking a cob so when the wind kicks up and you get covered in snow you will look like a snowman.

Do not smoke Samuel Gawith’s 1792 Flake for the first time while leaning back in a hammock, rocking back and forth. It will turn you green and gray.
Don't: smoke an estate pipe before you've made SURE that the shank is clean.
Don't: give up on a blend because of initial experiences
Don't: worry about smoking it ALL
DO: enjoy your time with us and share with us your trials AND tribulations.

DON'T hoard. Cellaring tobacco is nifty. And "laying in a good supply" make sense. But treating tobacco like it is the One Ring and you are Gollum is unseemly and makes it unreasonably difficult for brother pipers to find stuff.
DO give a "starter kit" to an interested newbie. Nearly all of us have a new cob, plenty of extra tobacco, a spare Czech and some cleaners lying about. If someone tells you he's interested in "trying out a pipe," toss all that in a ziplock bag and let him have a go. Total cost: Maybe ten bucks. Value of a new piper: Priceless.
DON'T say anything online you wouldn't say face to face. Not exactly pipe related, but useful. Your range of what you would say face-to-face may be VERY broad, and might include calling someone a "simpering, Communist asshat." It might. But if you wouldn't say it within swinging distance, don't say it in a forum.

Those lip rings would also make good drying stations before you filled your bowl, a bit of nostril breath to speed up the process and half an hour of tin note before a smoke, i like it.
DO drop some turkish/oriental leaf in your go-to aromatic, sugar and spice is nice!

Do not tell people what they should or should not do when it comes to buying pipes and tobacco. Letting people know yor experience on these subjects is fine, but everyone's situation is different and no one has the right to say you have to do it my way or else you are doing it wrong. Pipes and tobacco are very personal decisions and everyone has the right to do it their way without someone looking down their nose at you.
