    Yes and the more I’m learning seems like you need at least a few pipes to rotate. Didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to smoke the same pipe on consecutive days due to moisture. 

    If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience :D
    If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....

    You don’t need a bunch of pipes unless you plan on smoking a pipe everyday. If you do you’ll need a minimum of three pipes but see if you enjoy them first. I think waternerd found he didn’t enjoy them. It may not be your thing. From a pipe person we always want another brother in arms though.

    I’m looking forward to trying it out once my orders arrive. Thanks for the info I may start with 2 pipes and go from there.

    You can get away with it up to a point.  There are variables, mostly concerning your pipe tobacco and its moisture content.  Also how many times a day you smoke.  I may smoke a certain pipe 4 or 5 days in a row, once a day after breakfast and running a cleaner through it after each smoke.  Some tobaccos, Lane 1-Q comes to mind, will leave your pipe dripping wet after just one smoke.  Things get sour pretty quick like that.

    Some things almost seem counter-intuitive to me.  I was surprised to learn that light weight, less dense briers smoke better and are more forgiving of abuse than the heavier ones.  Who'd a thunk it?  

    One of the sites, Smokingpipes.com I think, has some pretty good educational material.

    One tip about your tamper or pipe nail, you don't just use it when loading the bowl.

    You use the "tamper" to restrict the airflow thu the bowl from time to time to help it burn a little better.

    Once you sample and if you dig it let me know. I can send samples of a bunch of different stuff to try out. My pipes have been a bit neglected the last few months, getting them back out into the rotation again.

There are a great  many more affordable pipe makers out there.  Enjoy!  Like Brad said...if you want to sample more tobacco, just holler....

    Top notch there @Stubble. Great looking pipe and some essentials to get him going as well.
