The reason I wish to start is because I can remember my best friend's dad smoking his pipe and making the entire basement smell fantastic.

I do really enjoy smoking my pipe, as well as the occasional cigar or finer ciggarette. I must say that while no one's ever complemented me on the smell of a cigar, I've had several strangers thank me for smoking my pipe.
However, smoking a pipe is not a ready, set, smoke sort of affair. You'll probably find learning to smoke a pipe can be very frustrating. Even now I spend more time repacking and relighting my pipe than I do actually smoking it. I recommend visiting a good pipe store and getting instructions from there. Also, don't be afraid of estate (or used) pipes. My best smoking pipe is a little one which was pre-enjoyed.
Enjoy!
