First, cob. Second, noob pipe trade rules for new folks. Watch a few vids on YouTube. Practice, and don't worry if you don't get it right away.

If you think the baccy is too dry, it probably isn't.

If the pipe goes out, don't worry if you don't light it back up till later. Totally not like a cigar.

If it goes out, no worries. Re-lights are normal. We all do it.
