I had been curious about pipe smoking for a year or so and finally took the plunge. Fortunately, a friend from another board set me up with all the stuff I needed to get going with a pipe.

Over the weekend, I tried three different bowls with limited success. But last night I lit up a bowl of McConnel Oriental and gone was the biting and harshness of earlier experiences. All and all it was a very pleasant smoking experience. The flavors are much more subdued than those of a cigar. But I can see myself getting into this.

McConnell's Oriental is one of my favorites...just an outstanding blend.

James B. Russell is the distributor of that brand and they just set up a BB. I'm trying to organize a "take only" boxpass over there with all of there blends. I haven't got it ready yet, but I should be making an announcement over there soon. Might be something you want to get in on...they have a lot of great 'baccy's. Just go over and introduce yourself and keep your eyes peeled.

I have no idea what kind of pipe it was. I was gifted 6 pipes from 2 different people. 2 of the are corn cobs, a couple are bent and and couple are straight. I don't know brands or styles yet.

Was it a midget pipe?
