not sure if they do online business. their cheapest would be around RM60-80, non-branded briar wood pipes. some points about pipes:
- pipes need pipe tobacco, don't use rolling tobacco. that would suck.
- a nicely packed pipe would last you about 15-30mins. so can't do that quick half-stick smoking. you can't rush when using a pipe
- don't buy cheap pipe(unknown wood, plastic bowl, bla,bla), better off without it
- you shouldn't inhale. might be tricky for long time smokers.
papers are always more convenient, pipes are more for leisure. like during a lord of the rings marathon

. just need to get use to rolling it. here's some weird skill level i've defined on my own
lvl1: assisted rolling, as in rolling with a roller or similar device
lvl2: mobile assisted rolling, as in rolling with a device but while moving(driving a moving vehicle, walking, running etc)
lvl3: hand rolling, as in rolling with hands
lvl4: mobile hand rolling, as in rolling with hands but while moving(driving a moving vehicle, walking, running etc)
lvl5: ultimate roll, one hand rolling
i'm at lvl4. could never get lvl5 to work

. and yes, i can roll a "popiah" better than my wife.
thanks. yes, you should consider. no more chest pain

.
i never think of smoking as being cool. my excuse was, nicotine helps me think(scientifically, it does actually).

I once met this bloke at a Level 5. Friend says he could drive a stick-shift and still roll it one-handed. *respect*
Like you, I'm only a Lvl 4 though. A bit anal about rolling it all nice and trim so...I tend to take longer than normal
So smoking a pipe is like smoking a cigar then? No inhaling? That shit is hard when inhaling is second nature. I cough like I've been hit with the plague whenever my friend decides to do a cigar session.
No more chest pain would be good. Especially right before you sleep or in the mornings. A very violent reminder of our mortality
, why don't you check in the garage sales or bulk. Or even this thread. I think a page or two back someone was selling his
