Leap of Faith

[Feynnehrun]

So...a while back I picked up a cheap Cob and tried a bowl of some "super value" very cherry tobacco. I enjoyed the experience but not more than cigars. I had recently picked up a vector pipe and got to try a bowl of Black cavendish and vanilla cavendish at a pipe tobacco tasting at the local shop. Been reading and learning...bought a small sampler from pipesandcigars.com and I think I'm ready to build my knowledge. Thanks all for introducing me to the pipe community and any advice is more than welcome

Well, you could buy a tin of good Virginia and see if you like that. What did you get from P&C?

The best advice I can give is to take your time and stick with it for awhile. Smoking a pipe isn't a "pick it up, pack it, light it" proposition. It takes time to get things working well and even more time to get things working how you'd like them.

Do try a few different types of quality tobaccos. Search around the Pipe Room for some suggestions.

Good luck!
