I have been doing a good bit of reading on getting started, pipe and tobacco reviews but have not read that thread until now. Thanks.

I will keep on with the cheap cob for a while but plan to pick up a briar once I get the hang of smoking a pipe.

Thanks for all the great info guys. I think that I will really enjoy pipes just not the tobacco that I have sampled so far (Borkum Riff, Captain Black). Need to make a trip to the B&M to find something with flavor and save my tongue from getting burned up.
