Pipes

So seeing pipes on here has got me back into thinking about trying them out, but have no idea as to what to look for as far as pipes etc. Any pipe smokers willing to share some info, tried doing a search but was so slow I got tired of waiting for something to show up, lol. *edit* I.E do you rec. corn cob? or go better? I dont want to spend much, penny pinching for a major move.

I couldn't recommend a corn cob based on my experience with one, some guys swear by them though. Savinelli has a budget line of pipes that you might check out, you won't get a unique or particularly beautiful pipe, but you will get quality craftsmanship.

I totally agree, don't try to do it on a trail (small) budget. Spend a few extra bucks and get a quality Savinelli and buy lots of different tobacco, even stuff you don't think you'll like, and just try it out. You will want good craftsmanship in your pipe. Dr. Grabow also makes some HALFWAY decent pipes to start out with. I just ordered my first JM Boswell yesterday and have recently been getting into English blends.

thanks for the response guys, looks like my best bet is to hold off for awhile and do it right.

I kinda hate you right now Zach, I want to get a Boswell so badly but it just isn't something I can swing at the moment. JM and son make some incredible pipes. My first one is going to be a jumbo, I know that for sure.

If you're interested in trying a pipe out, I can clean up my first pipe and lend it to you to see if you even like it. Let me know.

very generous offer, but I will graciously decline, my lil old life is to busy to borrow something! Living with father in law until we move, kids, puppies etc etc, I would hate if something happened. I will make the plunge when we land in our new adventure in a few months.

Right on. The offer still stands should you change your mind.
