Totally New. Information Overload. What to Do?

As someone noted, "don't overthink it." Enjoy!

I buy into the idea that pipe smoking should be relaxed. You don't get tense about eating barbecue, the manners and techniques. You just dig in and enjoy, and if you learn about it along the way, that adds to the pleasure. Or fill in something you especially enjoy.

Welcome aboard!
Great hobby, great forum. I've been here awhile and I'm still floored at the information some guys have on here

Get a corncob, stuff in some tobacco, light it, smoke it. What kind of tobacco? Try one, if you don't like it finish it and try another. Don't forget pipecleaners and a tamper.

One day at a time. Just find something you like and then figure out the depth and breadth. Go at your own space.

I think the OP has come and gone. His only post was two weeks ago.
