What would be a good setup for a new pipe smoker. I have never smoked pipe tobacco but would like to try some really nice stuff. Is there a place I can get the tobacco and pipe online?
+1, +1 on Dr. Grabow. Cheap, effective, and as I found out in high school--dual purpose.
The exact reason I don't smoke a pipe in my car
I'm 29, but usually told I look closer to 20, I can just imagine the looks I would get if people saw me smoking a pipe driving down main st.
Frogman, the Savinelli natural pipes, do you need to apply anything to the pipe to color or protect it? I was looking at these earlier today and was a little curious. Sorry not trying to hijack.

I ran into trouble with my fiance, and would recommend to anyone wishing to take up this habit that they recieve clearance, in writing, from the boss beforehand.
I recently started smoking a pipe with success. I found a smoke shop in the area in the yellow pages, and made a trip of it. Unfortunately the store was mainly filled with smoking paraphernalia of a different sort, but a small corner of the store was dedicated to tobacco pipes. I purchased a briar pipe for approximately $25, although they sold the corn cob pipe the style did not appeal to me, as well as some tobaccoes sold by the ounce and a tamper tool. I believe they were Black Cavendish, Cherry Cavendish, and something that smelled like coconut. It got me hooked. Now I smoke a Peterson Churchwarden once or twice a month on those perfect cool mornings. A very relaxing hobby.

You said really nice, so I'm going to have to suggest a good Dunhill pipe, and some English style tobacco.. Try a Peterson's University Flake.
