Subject: A good beginner pipe

Sorry I have not been able to send the initial greeting and info. you
requested until now (exams are upon me and time is precious).

Anyways I am a student at the Univ. of British Columbia, in the forestry
faculty (there is nothing wrong with clearcuts so long as they are done
properly and there are still plenty of spotted owls in Washington,
Oregon and Northern California).  I was introduced to cigars a couple of
years ago and I have enjoyed these immensely.  Actually I just had a
"Bances - coronna de luxe" from the House of Horvath Inc. in Toronto.  It
was a bit more expensive than the others ($6 after PST and GST) but turned
out to be worth it.  It did have "Habana" on the box so it might be a no no
in the States but if you have a chance you might want to sample some of
Horvath's goods.

I begin to run on at my keyboard so...  I would now like to try pipes.
I know you have probably done so many times already but suggestions on a
good starter pipe and a mellow tobacco to go with it would be much
appreciated.

Thanks JT

Amphora Blue, Sail, or Skandinavik. Other ideas? -S. ]
