I've always been interested in pipe smoking as it looks like a good way to relax, slow down and enjoy some quiet time. However, since funds for an activity like this are severely limited I have a lot of questions before I jump in.
1) I'm a former cigarette smoker with a somewhat addictive personality. For those of you that smoke often, do you miss it or get cranky if you have to miss or skip a smoke?
2) What kind of pipe should I start with? I see so many different bowl and stem shapes and materials it seems easy to spend some money and end up with something that I may not like
3) What kind of tobacco to start with? Again there seems to be so many blends and not blends, flavors, aromatics, etc...
