I Think I'll Have A Bowl...

[drewman285]

Hey guys, Ive been looking into pipe smoking, done some research, and I think I'll have my first bowl. Im pretty excited about this step. I love cigars and I figured what the hell why not try it out. So if you could look into the pipe and tobacco I have picked out and tell me what you think, itd be greatly appreciated.

When it comes to cigars here are some of my favorites:
CAO Gold Maduro
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
5 Vegas Miami
Fuente Hemmingway
CAO MX2
Tatuje Miami

I picked two different tins of tobacco based on my taste I tend to prefer.
Ashton Smooth Sailing
Savinelli Black Cavendish

I picked out a Meerschaum pipe that was relatively cheap and that looked really awesome!
Im ordering all of this from smokingpipes.com, which from what I hear is a very reliable source.

Is there anything else I should purchase to upkeep my pipe or just anything that is handy to have in the pipe world?

Thanks for checking this out and all input will be greatly appreciated!
Happy smoking!

Get some pipe cleaners, some alcohol for the stem, and a Czech tool and you should be set. Don't let cake build in your meer. A paper towel twisted into the bowl after each smoke should keep it fine a for awhile, but it will need scraping eventually. Don't use anything too sharp or pointy for that.

I'm sure there's some great info out there about meer care, but not having one has really kept me from looking up much of it.

Good luck!
