For the everyman smoker: Zippo Pipe Lighter

Zippo has become an American icon known throughout the world (along with its distinctive, opening clink and smart, closing clunk), especially beloved by outdoorsmen and military personnel. Even with the rise in popularity of wind-proof butane torch lighters, the simple, trusty Zippo remains a favorite for those who venture into the highest altitudes and coldest climates, where the Zippo design still proves an eminently reliable source for life-sustaining fire.

This special pipe lighter from Zippo features draft holes on the sides of the metal flame casing, allowing fire to be drawn directly into the pipe chamber from the side without charring the rim, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of pipe smokers. It's available in a wide range of styles and finishes, this one boasting three classic pipe shapes in a colorful palette.

For the "I forgot to buy one" smoker: Savinelli Pipe Ashtray

Pipe smoking is quite a bit more than just plain smoking. It is a refined skill and takes more time and attention to detail than smoking a cigar or cigarette. So that old cigarette ashtray just isn't going to cut it. You need ample room in an ashtray for those spent pipe cleaners and the larger ash volume produced by that hefty bowl you're smoking. Also, as a pipe smoker, you have above average class, so you need a receptacle that expresses refinement beyond a typical cigarette ashtray or coffee cup. We offer a selection of ashtrays that look great gracing your furniture and are large enough for the pipe smoker.

This year's pipe is characterized by a beautiful dark rusticated burgundy finish reminiscent of mulled wine and embellished with a red acrylic band enclosed by two thin brass rings and a stem of yellow pearlescent acrylic. Rendered in a variety of the Italian marque's staple shapes, there's a St. Nicholas for everyone.

For the cellaring enthusiast: Chacom Ceramic Tobacco Jar Blue

How you store your tobacco is just as important as what you smoke. First and foremost, it needs to be airtight and able to hold a seal. Mason jars work well enough, sure, but presentation's also something to consider. These Tobacco Jars are an extremely unique take on the age-old storage method that breaks drastically from tradition, eschewing many of the classical or explicitly practical features of other tobacco jars in favor of a modernist, Art-Deco-style silhouette. Crafted from ceramic, these jars boast a stylized pebble shape with smooth, oblong curves and rounded edges throughout, sure to stand out in any collection. Topped with a circular lid that's rounded with a gasket, these jars are ready to hold up to 125 grams or 4.4 ounces of your favorite tobacco, keeping it moist until you're ready to smoke. Available in a wide variety of vibrant colors to complement any mood.

Price: $100

However, a gift card is a guarantee that exactly the right gift is placed into their hands, and you get the credit for providing perfection.
