>>1448345>what type of tobacco to get or how to even do itIf you want to get all your stuff local instead of online/from the US, go down to your tobacconist's and buy a corncob pipe, a cheap pipe tool, and some tobacco. If he's a pipe smoker, see what he recommends with regards for tobacco. If he has pic related, try that. You can try some aromatics too (they're flavored tobacco, and usually mild) but bear in mind they're tricky to smoke properly; you have to smoke really slow or else you risk getting tongue bite and killing the flavor due to burning too hot.
Then go on YouTube and watch some pipe packing and smoking instructional videos. Pretty straightforward.
