Actually no, I don't inhale the Prince Albert. You can- it'd be a bit harsh compared to a Camel filter.
I went through a transition period where I smoked pipes/cigars and cigarettes. Generally I would smoke a pipe bowl and then have a cigarette afterwards for the nicotine. At one point I had to make a conscious effort to just drop the cigs.
If you do want to inhale, I'd suggest Granger. It's a drugstore-variety tobacco in a blue pouch. It's infinitely more inhalable than prince albert.
I have about 50-75 jars of tobacco at the house. If you're interested in exploring the world of pipes and tobaccos, buy 3 briar pipes (such as the ones at pipesandcigars.com - the $45/3 (best) or $30/3 would work), a pipe nail or tamping tool ($1-$3), and a few packs of pipe cleaners ($1/ea) and come over sometime. I'll gladly share all tobaccos and knowledge of one of my favorite hobbies. :)
Starting out pipesmoking you'll get tongue-burn for a week. To get this out of the way, get a couple of corncob pipes from a CVS or Walgreens or Up in Smoke (about $5/each) and some Prince Albert or Granger. Smoke 2-3 bowls a day (rotating pipes in between bowls) until you no longer get any tongue burn. Then you are ready for the prime time tobaccos. :)

One other thing that works when transitioning from cigs to pipes:
Get some dry snuff / nasal snuff! Basically it's ground up powdered tobacco. Garret's sweet snuff is good... sprinkle it on the pipe tobacco. It'll increase the nicotine hit 5 x.
I have a few pipes laying around somewhere. I also have all of the other smoking materials. I've just never smoked one regularly. My favorite tabac so far is 10 Downing Street.

My favorites right now are Old Tartan, Larry's Blend, Dunhill 965, and Charring Cross.
Larry's & Charring Cross are kickyourass strong. But fucking awesome. Endorphins are released when I smell this stuff.
