I have several Dr. Gabbo pipes which I find pretty good for beginners, they are cheap and not bad looking. Thought I'd also share that for smoking I like a blend called harvest moon, good mild favor.

I have never enjoyed cigarettes but love a good cohiba. I just bought a Wellbent pipe (I still can't find any info online about the brand) and started using Borkum Riff cavendish Vanilla - but am not exactly satisfied. As a cigar lover, can anyone recommend a tobacco that might suit? I’m looking for a little advice as a pipe newbie. I have never enjoyed cigarettes but love a good cohiba.

I tried a pouch of Old Port (mild) recently and found it to be awfully harsh on this pipe smoking newbie's taste buds. Since it's been a favourite of yours, I'm hoping you'd know what types of tobacco Old Port is made from. There's nothing on the pouch nor can I find anything on the Internet about it. If you could assist, that would be great. Old Port is available in Kimberley and Cranbrook, BC (Canada) for around $20/50gram pouch. Ouch, eh!?! That's about average for most 50gram pouches from local grocery stores that I've found (and that carry tobacco - some don't sell tobacco products at all any longer). There it is. Get back to me when you can. Bye for now... dPappy Greetings, Dennis:

It can be a cheaper pipe, just pick a sturdy looking one, Kaywoodie has a good selection for under $40.00 or perhaps one of the less expensive Savinelli around $50.00. If a person usd to smoke cigarettes Prince Albert is a nice simple blend to start with. If you like lots of aroma Captain Black White is a good bet. You will discover what you like as time goes on.

Just a $4 corn cob pipe and some Koniack flavored tobacco. Very nice indeed, and I couldn't stop thinking about physics. I smoked a pipe for the first tim yesterday and was very impressed.

I began a pipe back in 1964 and tried lots of different pipes, but eventually settled on Brigham [made in Toronto, Canada] and Old Port Pipe Tobacco which I smoked almost exclusively until it disappeared around 9/11. As time passed prices rose until at $18 a pouch, it began to seriously bite into my pension. The only tobacco commercially available seemed to be Sail and Captain Black, neither of which is quite the same as my long lost Old Port. The Brigham Pipe comes in several quality levels but always is fitted with their patented maple wood tubular filter, which I personally like. Now, luckily, I seem to have found a source overseas for Captain Black which brings the cost down by 80% and I am back enjoying my pipe instead of cigarettes. (One of the reasons I tried a pipe in the first place, the price went up to 42 cents a pack!) Anyway, not much more to add as those above have many good suggestions.
