[QUOTE="Singed, post: 610388, member: 6261"] Welcome, pull up a chair and set a while! Two points for first time smokers. Buy a cob, they're an inexpensive neutral smoker that will let you familiarize yourself with the flavour of different tobacco types without bias. A porcelaine pipe also serves this purpose beautifully but they are more expensive and tougher to find. Second, sample different tobacco types, ie. Virginia, Burley, Latakia, Turkish, Cavendish, without casing or flavouring to learn their characteristics and find your niche. Uncased blends have very distinct character eg, VaPers (Virginia/ Perique), or VaBurs (Virginia/Burley), American, English, Danish, and Oriental blends, [I]before they are flavoured[/I]. You can experiment extensively without toppings. Find a tobacco type you really like alone, then experiment with toppings. As BriarPipeNYC mentioned, work with bulks, look for blending tobaccos, they will be unflavoured. Enjoy yourself in all things pipe! [/QUOTE]
