New to Pipe Smoking

I have never smoked a pipe in my life and I am looking into pipes and tobacco to start a new way to relax and excape the every day muck that goes on with being deployed. I find that smoking cigars allows me to break free and relax after my day. I am deployed to Afghanistan and I am searching the web for a good site to purchase pipes and the good stuff that goes in them. Any thoughts or expert advise let me know. Thanks from Bagram, Afghanistan.
