[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 502150, member: 3775"] Dorchester - I'd say you're already miles ahead of the average pipe novice. You're sampling different blends, different pipes and figuring out what works for you. As others have said, pipe smoking is not an instant hobby. All of us suffered through rough bowls, tongue bite, hundreds of relights and smoking poor quality blends before we knew any better! :D Take your time, enjoy the journey and let us know how things go - that's the great value of a forum like BoB. Regarding pipe choices, I see it as similar to buying a musical instrument. You can learn to play on a $50 plywood guitar, or you can learn t o play - and ENJOY playing - a more expensive but infinitely better crafted instrument. Don't cheap out if you can save up for a good pipe. That said there are lots of great estate pipes out there for very reasonable prices. I'm currently smoking a Stanwell Buffalo I picked up for about $30CAD. Great pipe! [/QUOTE]
