I'm officially a pipe smoker
Well guys, I bought a pipe yesterday. I had planned on buying a pipe from Frenchy's, but decided to stop by my local tobacconists. They did have Savinelli pipes, which is what I was interested in, but not the model I wanted. So, after looking over all the different pipes I settled on a Cassano Canadian Smooth. It looks very nice. I paid about $15 more than what I could get it online for, but I think that was well worth it.
The store owner walked me through the whole process from start to finish. He showed me how to load the bowl, light the tobacco, empty the bowl, and clean the pipe. That type of hands on direction is not something I'm going to get from an online vendor. So, for my first pipe, I'm glad I purchased this from a B&M. I bought a couple of ounces of 'Sportsman's Choice' tobacco, which I was told would be good to start with, considering I am a cigar smoker. I also bought some pipe cleaners and a pipe nail. I smoked in the store for a few minutes, when he was showing me how to do everything. I'm going to smoke again today while watching the football games. Thanks for all the help everyone.
