Gifts: Collegiate Starter Kit 101: Introduction to Pipe Smoking

Product Number: 001-507-0055

First we introduced the Collegiate Starter Kit, then we expanded it.

And now we're streamlining it.

So here's the Collegiate Starter Kit 101: 1) Two one-ounce bags of tobacco, for smoking; 2) a Czech pipe tool, for tamping a pipe, scraping a pipe's bowl, and clearing a pipe's draft-hole; 3) a packet of pipe cleaners, for cleaning a pipe post-smoke; 4) a folding pipe stand, for giving a pipe a proper rest between smokes; 5) a pipe sock and a tobacco pipe/pouch, for taking a pipe on the go; and, finally, 6) a pipe, of course.



*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.

I purchased this kit while deployed at an "undisclosed location" in Southwest Asia. The pipe and tobacco I received was high quality and easy to smoke for a beginner. I love the variety of tobacco given. I appreciate the prompt shipping and the care in how Matt packed the product. Since, I have ordered more tobacco and another pipe. I also ordered one of these kits for my Dad as a Christmas gift. When I return home, he and I will smoke our pipes together in celebration!...Read More

Recently purchased this box for myself while being currently deployed to Africa serving in the U.S. Army and I am extremely satisfied with the choices that were made. Although 2 out of the 3 oz. of tobacco were the same rather than 3 different blends that I was hoping to try. But they good blends that I look forward to enjoying them here on this deployment. The pipe is nicely shaped and has a deep bowl and have received many compliments on it. I will be highly recommending this item to my fellow service members. Not only for the quality of the products provided but the timely manner in which I received it. Look forward to conducting future business with Smokingpipe.com. *UPDATE* I originally graded this at a 4 1/2 stars mainly on the mistake of receiving 2 of the same sample tobaccos, but I have to change it to a perfect 5 due to the OUTSTANDING customer service Smokingpipes.com gives to its customers. Kaye in customer service did an excellent job demonstrating a extremely high standard to the customer. 100% will continue to stand by this company and its products!!!!!...Read More
A Great Place to Start

For the price, you get quite a bit. I ordered the bent pipe and got exactly the pipe I had imagined. It was definitely on the cheaper side, but as a start up kit, this will do. The accessories are fine, the biggest value being in the vinyl pipe bag for your smoking on-the-go. The tobaccoos included were good. They smelled great, burned well, tasted good. Overall, a good purchase and a good entry into the world of tobacco pipe smoking....Read More
First Pipe

Somewhat pleased, but disappointed with the pipe itself.

First, let me say the tobacco smells great. The pouch, tool, and stand all seem to be of good quality. The order was complete and arrived promptly. The entire package looks exactly like the picture, except the pipe.

The pipe (I
ordered straight) is quite a bit smaller than I expected. It is right at 5" long, and the bowl is only 1.5" tall, 1" wide on the outside and 3/4" inside. I can't put my index finger in the bowl to pack it.

I wish I had spend a little more on a serious pipe and a single pouch of tobacco. I could have picked up the other extras (pipe tool, pouch, pipe cleaners, and stand) for a couple bucks later.
