What type or brand of pipe should I get?

I must admit I know zero about a good pipe or junk. I thought about exploring the pipe world a bit. Can say 60-70 buy a decent pipe?

I'll pm you some info on a deal that's happening now. A lot of people like to start with a cob so that you can see if you like it before spending more money, you could get a cob a pipe tool and some tobacco for $25 or even less. You can find some good smoking pipes in the $30 - $70 range some B&M's carry 'Italian' pipes in this range.

I got a 35-ish dollar pipe from a local tobacco shop. Most places don't sell actual pipe tobacco though. A lot of things listed as "pipe" tobacco are such as to dodge certain tobacco laws. It's just re-cut rolling tobacco that is meant to be used as rolling tobacco. The rite-aid here sells a "Virginia Gold" Vanilla Black Cavendish that I like. It's like 20 bucks a bag, but it's pretty tasty.


I have a D-Brand Pipe, it's worked well for me, the only thing I did was remove the filter. In mine it really constricted airflow. I've been smoking pipe for about 4 years now and I've kept the cheap one because it works and I've kept it in really good shape.

I recently bought a Stanwell, that I love. Barracini, LaRocca, and Bjarne all sell very affordable pipes that smoke well. Of course, if money's no object, you can get right out there and spend 4 - 500 $ right quick. It's worth remembering, too, that a decent pipe should last you for decades of regular use.

If money is an issue, go to a local tobacco shop and find a "D-Brand" pipe, they are cheap, but I have smoked out of more than a few of them. All of them are decent, I have a D-Brand bent pipe for my "keeper". As I stated earlier, it's decent. I prefer the look of the bend, it's the reason I got it.

Go with mt!! Mitchell Thompson they are cheap and well constructed. Personally you can't go wrong and if you kill it you won't feel too bad about it

I went with a couple of cobs when I got started. I found that more often than I'm grabbing a cigar if I have time to smoke so I'm glad I didn't invest too much

Color changing ones are kind of cool.
