>>869118OP I feel ya on the cozy idea of smoking a pipe innawoods. I bought a missouri meerschaum and some virgina red blend to start about a month ago.
It was great for a total of 5 minutes until I had to keep it lit, over and over again. Then the winds came, then the tongue bite and lastly the drool from the intense smoke.
Bring lots of matches and patience. I always wanted a Savinelli Ontario (pic). A true work of art.
Pipe smoking is an art and what appears to be very relaxing if you have the patience. Which I do not. Plus I am paranoid about Cancer (although pipe smoking is minimal risk from what I've read).
Either way. Good luck OP, I'd STRONGLY recommend a cheap corncob to start instead of going all in. I thought I'd love it, but I think I'm more of a cigar guy, if anything.
