Take it slow and easy. Most people start with a cheap pipe and tobacco and roast their tongue (called tongue bite) and then say they hate pipes. Sort of like buying a cheap cigar and concluding they don't like cigars. Be prepared to do a lot of relights and don't try to stoke the bowl by puffing...
