crichton, look, please, in your book.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay Alex, been busy with the pre-show here in Chicago. I don't see anything that looks like that in my book. Is there any writing on the pipe or a country of origin?

Help appreciated.

Many pipe manufacturers (Peterson, Vauen, Stanwell etc etc) have excellent cheap end pipes within a price range of say 30 - 60 €. Also corn cobs are perfect choice to start. Basicaly, Imho, pipes aren't anything elitistic, snobbish or special but rather just a good way to enjoy tobacco. You can smoke cheap end pipes are as good as pricey ones. Another good way to get a pipe is to find some estate, web is full ofinstructions how to get rid of old tobacco ghosts.

Now what it comes to pipe tobacco is very personal. Some like mothers some like daughters some like them both. If you've smoked cigarettes before then i would suggest you to get some strong (lot of nicotine) pipe tobacco to get rid of the cigarettes. If you haven't smoked before then maybe some aromatics would be somethibg to try. You should go to your local tobacco shop and ask for samples. Probably they can suggest you something to try. If you are looking for just some pure fine tobacco, then Erinmore flakes or Capstan navy cut are my favorites. Do notforget that even some cheap everyday brands night give you good smokes. Now i have no idea what is typucal eery shop pipe tobacco there,but we have Half/half, Amphora and MacBaren tobaccos in eery store and imho they are decent.

Eric, nothing on the pipe. Only this "pipe bird' on the stem.
Good luck at the show!

Here you get again the nice Vauen
