Pipe Smoking

Anyone here smoke a pipe? I'm looking into getting into pipes and I'm a little overwhelmed at all of the different pipe tobaccos and the lack of reviews for them. If there are any pipe smokers here, can you recommend a good beginners tobacco?

Do you have a tobacconist that deals in pipes and pipe tobacco? If you do, I'd suggest going in there and talking to someone, they can help put you on the right path. That way you can look at the pipes up close, smell the tobaccos.

I smoke a pipe. Paid 11 dollars for a corncob pipe with accessories. Thing is cheap and great. Depends on what you want to smoke and how expensive you want to get. Go to your shop and talk it over. Most will let you sample a bowl or two right on the spot.

Well, I'm not a pipe smoker yet, but I love the smell!! I have heard quite a few pipe smokers mention McClelland Frog Morton as a very aromatic and tasty tobacco. I have heard more recommendations for this particular one than others. I'm sure that this place could help.

There are some beautiful pipes there. But for over $1,600, I want Bo Derek to light it for me just wearing high heels and perfume!!!

I have a 100yr old meerschaum pipe that was my wife's great grandfather's. it's framed in a shadow box. maybe i need to break it out and torch it up. i've been tempted by pipes for a long time, my grandfather smoked one, now you got me thinking

The thing is, pipe smoke is much less offensive to most than cigar smoke. Now, us cigar enthusiasts enjoy the aroma of a fine stick, however, such is not true with many others (my wife included). So smoking pipe around others becomes an enjoyable experience since most people enjoy the aroma of nice burning pipe tobacco. I want to get into pipes, but it's kind of hard for me to decide on a pipe to buy. I guess it's kind of a life long investment when purchasing a pipe. The other thing, though pipes smell nice, I usually prefer the flavors of a stogie.

Do you guys no how long pipe tabacco will stay smokable? I want to get in to pipe smoking but it has been taking about 2-3 weeks for packages to get to me. Will it still be smokable by then? Is pipe tabacco any where near as "upsetable" as a cigar?

As long as it is sealed good and you have fresh stuff it will be good. I actually have smoked stuff from a year ago that isn't so fresh. It isn't as good as fresh but it was still good. I think most people I talk to say you want to smoke it within a couple months. It is really cheap too.

I've had Frog Morton's and really enjoy it, but when I do smoke my pipe, I use a tobacco that is blended at this shop down in Seaport village in San Diego. If you are in the neighborhood and want to try it, it's Indian Pudding and Virginia Cut. The latter looks a bit like beef jerky.
