Hey!

[Anthony_Joseph]

Hi guys, I'm Anthony.....from the cigar side of the forum. I was in a shop today and saw some pipes and "baccy?" and I really wanted to buy some but I was not sure about it. I've herd corn cob pipes are great starters and get a few of them as they need to rest. I have also herd Mason Jars are the best storage for baccy. I want to get into this hobby and have no idea were to start. can I get some suggestions on good tobacco to start with? (Or samples):dance:

Is pipe smoking as enjoyable as cigars? It looks like it could be a good time. I like good times. Also how do I pack and Light a pipe and not burn through the pipe.

Can I get a quick easy walk-through on the ritual? I'm excited. :bigeyes::blob:

I'm not a pipe guy myself, but why not get in on this? Seems like it would be good times for you, and from what I've heard, you like good times.

Hi Anthony!

My name is Rex, some people call me Hoshy. I smoke a lot of pipe; in fact some people would say I have a problem. I believe I just received a package from your contest today. In that package were some cigars, these cigars made for a nice trade for your pipe starter package. Click the link above my comment and sign up, just don't make the mistake of thinking I won't be your sponsor.

PS. I already have your address.

Also as a tip.. Just hit up YouTube. There are great instructional videos on there. It is a very enjoyable hobby.

 

[Anthony_Joseph]

Will do, thanks!

Was that just an example of fate? Wild.

 

[Hoshneer]

Yeah, gotta love this board. There just ain't nothing like it.

Quick question, do I need a beard to smoke a pipe ? I joined the "pipesmokersforum" and they all have beards, and one guy told me To get off his lawn, and called me a prospect. I can't grow facial hair very well, and if that's a requirement I don't think I can be a part of.

Lololol! No beard required but facial hair is nice to keep the smokey goodness with you all day.

One thing you have to realize. The pipe smokers on this board I believe are vastly different than 99% of most pipe guys. lololololol...

That's good, because they call a retrohale, "snorking" and I don't like that. Snorking is something I do to my wife, or farm animals.

AJ and Hoshy found each other. Such a special moment. Yes, yes it was fate that brought you two characters together.

Ah looky someone made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on the darl side. Welcome. Pipes are a wonderful extension of the tobacco hobby. It can be alot less expensive than cigars.

I mainly smoke cigars, but I enjoy a bowl once a while. When I got into pipe tobacco over 10 years ago, my local B&M was the best resource. Hands on experience from packing-lighting-smoking, sampling different blends, to pipes and accessories selection. Cool thing about smoking a pipe is mixing your own blends. I like mixing a little Nicar Ligero or Habano wrapper with english blends.

And the nic-kick from some pipe tobacco kicks any cigars (CC and NC) ass.
