Newbie questions....

Stanwell (Cup O' Joes has a great selection), new
Stanwell estates from smokingpipes.com or The Piperack.

What concerns me about your post is that you would appear to be purchasing your "one and only" pipe.

If so the pipe will ghost and get insufficient rest between smokes.

I would target group pipe sales of inexpensive pipes on eBay, a dozen pipes for ~$100.00.
