Hello to the pipe aficionados out in SRP land.
I am a cigar and scotch guy by nature. I enjoy a nice 20 to 30 min smoke while enjoying a movie at home while unwinding or out having an apartivo with friends.
Since I have been looking over a couple of the "pipe of the day" threads my interest has been peaked into the world of pipe smoking.
I have researched the hobby and learned that as a beginner an inexpensive briar straight would probably be best to start with in terms of cleaning and learning the skill behind a proper smoke. Does this ring true to anyone?

I will put myself out there an ask/enquire if anyone out there has a dusty "beginners" pipe not in use that they that they would like to donate???

Please PM me and we can discuss further.
