Brand new to pipes

[TheBlackWatch]

Been considering giving pipes a try to change things up a bit between my regular cigar smoking.
Does anyone have any advice on good pipe tobacco to start with and a place to get a decent pipe for a good price? Not looking to get anything too expensive to start. Thanks!

Check out the NOOB Pipe sampler trade here. They'll hook you up with a corncob pipe and a bunch of samples, if you trade a few cigars. It's a great way to go, I just got mine in the mail a couple of weeks ago.

Yup +1 on that advice.

And welcome. Hope you like piping as much as I do.

+2 on that advice. I'm a "novice" to piping but not cigars. I also got in on the trade and I'm enjoying it so far. If you haven't already get in on that newbie trade, post up that you're interested and just hang in there for one of the vets to pop up and take you on as a sponsor. Then go from there...I believe there's a "sticky" as to what it'll entail you for the trade.
I enjoy it and it's definitely different from cigars. Especially when it comes to the money once you're established. My pipe (and baccy) collection is growing real fast. Up to 6 pipes now and 12 jars of various baccy. IF there's anything any of us can do to help you along, feel free to post up and browse the Pipes section.
