Ok friends...here is what i am looking for

I am wanting to spend less than 50 bucks on a pipe
either a poker or a bent bulldog

Also what, in your opinions, are some very good yet inexpensive cigars? I have just started smoking cigars (as in i have had 2) and i do like them.
I would like answers to both questions

Thank you all for making life so much more pleasant

Heres what I started with when I first got into cigars:

Partagas Black Label
Romeo Y Julieta Maduro
Don Tomas Maduro
Oliva Series G and O
CAO MX2

I still smoke the CAO MX2 and the Partagas Black Label, I have moved away from the other cigars because my taste buds have changed a bit. All the cigars above are under $7.00 (Or should be).

As far as the pipe goes, Jump onto eBay and search for "Mario Grandi". I have several of his pipes and they are amazing. You can get them for around $50 depending on the model. We did a podcast a while back on the Mario Grandi pipes, I can't say enough good things about them. You can also get an Erik Nording pipe for around $50.00. My best smoking pipe (and favorite) is my Nording freehand.

Hope this helps!

Alright folks, I need some questions to answer for the podcast coming out in December. I am also wondering who you may want to hear an interview from in the pipe world. I have a few in store I am working on, but I would like your input as well. Post some responses and I will get to work!

No Questions? Boswells turned me down for an interview right now, but I will try again in a few months. Any others you would like to hear from?

I can't think of any right now Andrew, but I will think about it. I can't wait to hear the new season of podcasts. Keep up the good work.

I have a question, Andrew. I've been noticing a real uptick in pipe-smoking popularity, even over the past three years, and especially among younger ladies and gentlemen (college-age through mid-20s). I'd love to hear from person to person that you interview whether they've noticed the same thing, and what their thoughts are about the phenomenon, and what they'd love to see happen to bring the new guys and gals into the fold.

Dare I assume that everyone has learned all they need to learn from this website?
