You love the delicious, fragrant aroma of pipe tobacco. You admire the refined, classic look of a pipe. Perhaps you've even fathomed, once or twice, of trying your hand at the hobby. Where do you begin?

Take it from me; getting started with your first pipe can be a daunting, elusive endeavor. But that's just part of the fun. As you'll soon discover, the history and tradition at the heart of pipe smoking is as rich as it is complex and can, without the right tools with which to get started, often overwhelm the novice enthusiast.

The solution? The ensemble before you. We've taken the liberty to contrive a supply of pipe and tobacco accoutrements so that you might find your way into smoking pleasure with gentle ease. Our 'Starter Kit' includes a pipe of Italian design (your choice of a bent or straight configuration), a tobacco sampling of superb varieties, as well as a parcel of Gloredo pipe cleaners, a tobacco pouch, the endlessly reliable pipe tool, and a very useful pipe stand.

Separately, these items would add up to a total of $69.75, however, we're most delighted to offer this kit to you for less than half that. Why? Because we're here to help you steer the rudder. All that's left for you to do is grab the wheel.

*Please note that the items in this kit pictured below may change based upon available stock, and the pipes for this kit come in various shapes, colors, and finishes.
