New to the pipe

[bigbarneyhotdog]

I've just purchased my first pipe. Some accessories and some tobacco. I've been smoking cigars for almost 20 years now and feel it's time in my life for the pipe. I love cigars but can't justify the current cost. I'm partial to my alone time in my man cave and the thought of pipe smoking has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. Bored at work today and clicking through the internet, I've landed on a site and filled my basket and hit buy now. I've chosen a Peterson Killarney 05 unfiltered Briar pipe. Some 15g bags of Gawth Hoggarth Reunion Series Brown House Roll Cut, Wilsons of Sharrow Superior and some Red Cavendish (cherry) and a bag of McConnell Black Cavendish.
As with anything new, I'll be asking lots of questions and welcome any tips and advice. I must admit, I've never been in this section of the forum but will be having a peruse through all previous posts.
