Beginner's Kit

[C-Dub]

I remember reading somewhere, sorry I don't know if it was on this board or another, that one of the pipe companies that put together a good starter kit: a decent pipe and a selection of tobaccos. Can anybody offer input into whether or not they think this is the best way to start out & really find out if pipe smoking is for me? And what the company is?

I don't mind spending a little bit of money, but want to avoid having to invest hundreds before I really figure out if this is for me. If there is some better way to get initiated, please let me know.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Boswell's is as good as any place to start. Link

They make beautiful pipes and blend excellent tobacco. Make sure you get the Christmas Cookie :thumbsup:

This is a good thread because I have been dying to try a pipe.

I know this thread is old but I would reccomend giving the Boswell's a call, as Greg already said.

For ~$50 they'll send you a pipe, pipe tool, pipe cleaners, and matches along with a few grams of different tobaccos to try...plus their pipes are easy to smoke from when new.
