As you are just starting out, go pick up some corn cobs. They are cheap and will help you get the hang of it and you won't feel bad if you mess them up.

If you decide it is your cup of tea, then go spend some decent money on a nice pipe.

I prefer a corn cob if its a Missouri Meerschaum. They seem to burn cooler to me.

If you can stop by a place in Murfreesboro called The Humidor they have some called TN Sunset. It's amazing good and all TN gown tobacco.

Most "Black and Tan" or "Black and Gold" blends are fairly smooth. As for a pipe, I'd try a Peterson. The Irish got that one right!

Gordie, I am trying to ease him into it. I love my Peterson, one of the best pipe manufacturers out there.

You may want to look at a sampler pack from somewhere like this: http://www.cupojoes.com/index.html

I sure do enjoy sitting on the front porch, or a river bank somewhere ,or even on my SUP, after a good day of fishing with a good pipe and some fine tobacco. No matter how goofy it may look its one of the finer things in life. I might get old but I'll do so gracefully.
