A buddy wants to try pipe smoking

[BORIStheBLADE]

I've been smoking cigars for almost three years with no pipe experience. He told me last week he wants to start pipe smoking and wanted me to pretty much help him get started.
From reading through some of the post on here and talking to cigar friends I'm going to get him a cob pipe for starters. I really don't know what kind of tobacco to get him, but I think he was looking for something that smelled good.

What kind of tobacco do you guys recommend?

thanks
