New piper from Ireland

[The Pimlico piper]

Hello, there everyone. The Pimlico piper here from Dublin Ireland. I am brand new to the piping world and bought my first pipe ( a missouri meerchaum corn cob ) and some connemara black tobacco from Peterson's of Dublin just last week. I smoked my third bowl of tobacco about an hour ago while drinking a nice pint of Guinness and I must admit I am already hooked. I don't really know what I am doing but I do know I want to continue and I hope you fine people will be willing to give this newbie some tips and advice to help me continue with my piping hobby. Thanks for listening!

Welcome from the states Pimlico! The search function on this website works great for pulling up specific information, there is also pipedia.com which has a good broad overview of the hobby in general which I would recommend for beginners, and to anyone really!

Welcome to the group laddie. Wife and I were in Dublin on tour 4 years ago before Covid. Nice city but way too many people, kinda like NYC. Visited a lot of pubs, don't suppose we crossed paths, lol. Good group of folks here, always willing to help and offer advice.

Welcome to the group! If you go to pipedia online look for the Corncob Primer, there's good info for starting out with corncobs.

Welcome from the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. I've only just recently started smoking a pipe again myself, after a break of about three decades.

Thank you too! Padraig D. With a name like that there must be a bit of Irish lineage there somewhere. Happy piping to you.
