seems like a decent starter set

That does look good. Just be sure the pipe is made of wood. I got dooped on ebay one time, the guy told me it was a wooden pipe, then I got it and it was plastic with a metal bowl. It sucked, wood is the way to go.

This is my primary pipe. It's a bit blury, but you get the idea.

I would start out on a Dr Grabow. They are cheap and are PRE SMOKED meaning there is a cake already built up in the bowl and there is no breaking in period. They stick the bowls up to a machine and suck burning tobacco smoke through them until a cake is built up. I still smoke my grabows every once in a while. Premium more expensive pipes are great but you have to break them in. And I would get a pipe you can put pipe filters in while you smoke until you get used to it because it is completely different from cigar smoking. you have a really loose draw, And from time to time alot of relights but with the right tobacco smoking a pipe can be a great experience.
