Anywho, on actual newbie pipe smoking information, I should have mentioned it before, but RequiemPipes (Gustavo, who I think is here on puff as Requiem!) set up a bunch of playlists for new pipesters on a channel "4pipenewbies" - here's a link: 4PipeNewbies's Channel - YouTube All good stuff, cheers |

Re: What does a noob really need to know? Who else is glad they had pipe smokin' grandpas and dads so they didn't ever have to ask noob questions?  histle:hahahahaha! j/k lol and any other indications I'm just playin' around! Seriously, just don't try to make it harder than it is(n't). Fill 'er up, fire up, tamp down and take it easy! It's fun! |

I don't think anyone mentioned it yet and maybe it goes without saying, but I'd definitely recommend anyone new to the pipe to check out all the resources available on youtube via the pipe community there. You can get a ton of info here on Puff and other forums, but searching YT for stuff like "how to pack a pipe" and actually seeing someone do it is really helpful imho.

I would recommend an MM cob because it will give you a good smoke, won't ghost so you can try many different tobaccos to begin with, and it's quite cheap compared to briars so it will allow you to try a pipe without spending much to decide if you like it. As others have mentioned, check out the NPS trade (link). There, you buy a tin for an experienced pipe smoker, and they send you a variety of samples. So with a cob and the NPS, you should easily be spending less than $30, and you will have a good smoking cob, and probably 4-8 different tobaccos! |

Wow, extremely helpful. Still debating trying out a pipe since I found the wonders that are cigars, but y'all just answered a bunch of my questions by answering Derek's. Thank you
