[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 201675, member: 1387"] Shane, again thanks to you for your selfless sacrifice. For the time being, a roofing nail or similar object will work fine as a pipe tamper. Some guys even use golf tees. I can't really add much, as a cob and a meer would be my advice for a newbie to the hobby. The meer may be a bit fragile, but it requires very little drying time, and no danger of burning out a side wall or bottom of a bowl as is common with newbies smoking briars and cob's. As has been mentioned above, tongue bite can and is usually a chemical issue, so you won't know what bite's you till you give it a go. Personally I prefer to stay away from aromatics, and go with English, Virginia, Burley, and Oriental blends. Good luck, stay safe, and welcome to the BoB forums brother! 8) [/QUOTE]
