I actually brought my 1st pipe today!! I got a Missouri Meerschaum Legend Pipe at my local Smoke Shop. I'm really looking forward to my first smoke later tonight! They had a display at the shop, and I talked to the guy there about them. He says they sell a bunch of them, and for $7-8, it's totally worth it for someone who's starting in the pipe game. If your local Smoke Shop sells pipes, it's probably worth looking into
