My favorite pipe.


My best smoking pipe.


My ancient Meerschaum pipe and a great smoker.


One of my best smoking pipes.


My Mark Twain meerschaum.

That one looks really nice!

I made an attempt at pipe smoking, my problem was my pipe came from a head shop, and the over scented "Blueberry" tobbaco tasted like hot trash... any recomendations for easily obtainable tobacco? main brands maybe, something you could find in a tobacco shop and not online.

I loved smoking a pipe but I quit smoking cigarettes on Halloween last year.  If I start smoking a pipe, I'm pretty sure I'll pick up the sticks again and I'm not willing to do that.

New_Shine:  American Spirit tobacco can be found at most smoke shops.  No added chemicals and a really good smooth taste.

Get a Missouri meerschaum from CVS. It is a corn cob pipe and goes for about $6. The Missouri meerschaum is I highly respected pipe amongst beginner and veteran pipe smokers alike. If you decide you don't like pipe smoking then your not out much.


Carter Hall and Prince Albert are 2 good pipe tobaccos that are easy to find, also take your newly acquired corn cob pipe to a good tobacco store and have the tobacconist suggest some tobacco and they will usually fill your pipe and let you have a sample or 2.
