Making the switch from cigars to pipes

hey guys! Will try make it short and straight to the point, I'm making the switch from cigars to pipes, mainly for the enjoyment of the ritual and cost efficiency is a major plus, tobacco has a 100% tax here and I'm yet to experience a bunch of different pipe tobaccos other than the captain black line.

I'm placing an order from Missouri meerchuams website and would love some recommendations in terms of tobaccos to try out and maybe another pipe or two to add to the collection.

the only refrence point I can give to my taste is that I enjoyed light to medium bodied cigars, mostly Connecticut and the royal tobacco from captain black is the best I've had so far.

knowledge is limited so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
