Hey everyone, I had posted in the newbie section, and ended my painfully long debut post with a question about suggestions. I had also mentioned that I know it's opening a can of worms to ask everyone here what they think I should start with....but I figure we all had to learn at some point, so where would be better. B&B has been great to me so far with knowledge, so why change where I get the info from if it's been sound advice so far?
Anyway, I have NEVER smoked a pipe or anything of the nature. Tried cigarette's TWICE in my life and never liked them enough to try again. I don't really understand or like the idea of a cigar either. I very seldom use chewing tobacco when I'm working outside in the yard or on a vehicle or in the garage on a project. The chewing tobacco is the extent of my "experience" and I've only ever had a couple very commercial brands from gas stations, and usually the pack dries out before I even finish it. But having dove into the nostalgia of classic shaving (both DE and SR), has primed me to continue to try nostalgic things, because I like the idea and what it stands for. So...any suggestions on a first pipe? First tobacco? Basically the entire process because I have no idea where to even start, and would rather not walk into a cigar shop and say, "screw me with expensive things because I'd like to experiment".
So in the essence of teaching me things, I'd like you guys to offer up some advice in the form of what you learned from your first experience, through mistakes, through luck, however you learned. And tell me about your first experience all together. What pipe did you use, do you still use it? Why or why not? Same with the tobacco. Take a trip down memory lane. Thanks!
What was your first pipe experience like?
