Well I guess I'm ready to dive head first into the pipe world. I've been restoring my Dad's old pipes and have been smoking them as they're finished. I've been digging the tobacco I picked up a couple weeks ago (Early Morning Pipe, Night Cap, mixture 9 something or other, and Plum Cake) but need some assistance exploring what's out there. I don't think I'll like aromatics, but you never know! I don't need pipes, just a few samplers of the various blends that you experts think are worth checking out. I have a butt-ton of cigars, so I prefer to trade.

Thanks!

Be sure you enjoy it. That's the biggest thing. Pipes are about relaxation and enjoyment. Don't sweat the small things. Relights are part of it. Your packing skills will come as you learn the different tobaccos Dave trades you.

So I have history with Grrrr on another board and I know how he plays but this is crazy!!! Awesome box to open up when I got home and I know you said no hit backs but this sis deserving of something at least. Thanks Grrrr this is definitely going to get me started and lots of blends to try out.

Enjoy it my friend.

Just a recommendation, but start with the 5 brothers. It's a shag cut. Easy to pack, easy to light. If you screw it up pack another bowl. It's a straight burley, it's cheap but I enjoy it. I use it as first bowl in all my pipes.

Both of those pipes are intended for you to abuse. I'd start with the cob but that's just me. The other samples are all over the map. Find what you enjoy and chase similar blends. Mason jars are the best way to store those.

Don't stress if they dry out. Just spritz the baccy with your DW bottle and it will be fine.

Any questions Shaun, hit me up.
