Enjoy!

Is there anything I need to do prior to smoking for the first time? Or is the pipe all ready to go? I was also wondering about the filter - Is it recommended to use it? Thanks

[ValeTudoGuy]

Corn cobs dont need breaking in so your fine. Filter is personal opinion, I bin them.

Will update as I go! Going to watch a few more youtube videos on packing etc, then hopefully enjoy my first pipe this weekend

How are you getting along with your pipe? Are you enjoying pipe smoking?

Sorry Marc, I forgot to reply to this. So far I've only had one bowl of the old dark fired which I enjoyed (excellent recommendation [MENTION=201]cj121[/MENTION] !).
The only problem I had was keeping it lit. Probably need some more practice at packing

Pleased to discover that you enjoyed your first bowl of pipe tobacco. Hope that it is the start of a pleasant adventure into the world of pipe smoking.

I've really been enjoying my pipe smoking and i've decided i'd like to buy my first "proper" pipe.

I've been having a browse and some of the pipes that caught my eye are:
* Peterson - Dracula Collection
* Peterson - Jekyll & Hyde Collection
* Peterson - Iceberg Collection
* Rattrays - Old Gowrie
* Jolly Roger

Would any of the pipes from the above ranges be a good choice as a step up from the cob ?
Thanks

Me personally...All the peterson look good but none can take a 9mm filter ..none big deal for some folk but I like that option.

The jolly Rodger series can and that would be my next purchase

I've only got the Jolly Roger from that list, so I'm biased

[handlebarpipe]

I can't help you never having smoked any of these pipes. Still, I look forward to discovering which pipe you decide to purchase and hearing more about how well you think it smokes.
Good luck, Marc

I haven't any of the pipes mentioned, I do have a couple of Peterson systems though that are very good smokers. I have been looking at the Rattray pipes as well and may get myself one in the near future. BTW nothing wrong with a cob
