New Feature - Resource List

This seems to me the most important one to point new pipe smokers to: the A.S.P FAQ.
Information: http://www.aspipes.org/faq/faq/official.html

Another good basic info resource.
Information: http://www.aspipes.org/shapes/shapes.html

Plenty of information to wade through here!

I was surrounded by cigarette smokers, and had to research on my own before starting smoking a pipe. Thank god for the internet.
Delicious has a lot of pipe related links:
http://del.icio.us/popular/pipe
I am keeping my own list here:
http://del.icio.us/MyAltAccount/pipe
And youtube has a lot of videos showing how to fill/light/clean a pipe. Very informative.

It’s late and my eyes are going buggy; however, I don’t believe I saw these great etailers yet posted:

http://www.cupojoes.com

I have a pipe blog called Straight Grain located here: http://straightgrain.blogspot.com/
I think it would fit into the categories of “Personal”, “Information” or if you want to create a category for “Blogs”.

If I may add, I have been contemplating having a site that has photos of what certain tobacco blends actually look like out of the tin/bag. I have always found the ability to visually inspect a blend helpful in the selection process when searching for new blends to try. Does this sound like something others here would find interesting/useful?

I can’t believe that nobody has listed The Aging, Storage and Cellaring FAQ! I have learned so much from that site. If you have any intention of aging, storing, and/or cellaring pipe tobacco, ESPECIALLY BULKS, you need to read this site!
