My advice as a noob myself (been smoking pipe about 2.5 months):
- Don't let the Altadis aromatic tobaccos get you down. There's a chance you may get a nasty tongue bite from those tobaccos that you may not get with others.
- Get a cob and smoke it primarily until you get familiar with filling the pipe and smoking at a slow pace that doesn't get the tobacco too hot/gurgling/etc.
- Get a soft flame pipe lighter. I found it easier to develop a slow smoking pace when it's fast & easy to relight.
