Hello all,
A while ago I asked for some advise over here about picking up the pipe (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/287386-Dear-Pipesmokers-I-need-your-help) . To assure you the excellent advise you gave me was not wasted, I'm happy to report the following:
Tonight I bought my first one, a Big Ben 541 Dusk (pics later this week), along with some Alsbo gold tobacco as recommended by the shopkeeper and the other bits and pieces needed for a smoke.
I must say I really enjoyed it, and it went quite well. There was a bit of unburned tobacco left in the bowl, but I guess that's what happends to most beginners. I'm on my way!
