Normal
I have a farm so I'm going to assume you're kinda handy. I just started smoking a pipe last year. I bought a couple Savinelli starter pipes as new pipes and bought other new ones after I had more experience. However, I found estate pipes to be a better way to try out different shapes and sizes. They're easy to refurbish with minimal tools. I have over 100 pipes already after a year. A couple of them are from 1900-1920 time frames and that history makes it more fun for me.It sounds like you want to smoke and do things at the same time. Find a size and shape you can clench without snapping your neck. I agree with cobs as a good place to start. I have two as work pipes and they get wet, dirty, dropped etc.They smoke great.
