Give a thoughtful gift that’s both practical and enjoyable: an ashtray with a cork in the center to prevent damage to their pipe! They’ll appreciate having somewhere safe to rest their pipe when smoking!
Every pipe smoker will value having an appropriate tamper. Tampers come in all forms and sizes ranging from simple metal designs to intricately detailed pewter ones.
1. Starter Kit
For anyone just beginning their pipe smoking experience, this gift would make an excellent introduction. Complete with everything they’d need to begin collecting their collection – all wrapped up nicely in an attractive blue box! A wonderful present for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas.
Gifting tobacco-related merchandise can also make an ideal present for those who have already begun smoking for some time. They may have a particular family of tobacco blends they prefer or enjoy cellaring and aging their tobacco; now is an ideal opportunity to understand their passion and explore gifts that could further develop their taste!
An essential for every smoker is an array of pipe tools. While most will own basic tools like reamer and nail, having extra tools like cleaner or tamper is always helpful. While you can purchase individual items like this individually or as kits that combine all these features can range in cost from tenner for basic items up to hundreds for luxurious options.
One of the best gifts you can give those who enjoy pipe smoking, especially those who are passionate enthusiasts, is a tobacco jar equipped with an inbuilt humidifier. This allows them to store their tobacco safely in an environment controlled by moisture that won’t degrade its quality over time – you can find this style in all sorts of sizes and designs to find their ideal match!
Make their pipe smoking experience truly enjoyable with an impressive, quality tamper that they can use for all of their smoking needs, enabling them to fully appreciate their favorite tobacco blends as intended. Choose a themed tamper such as Sherlock Holmes or Scottish Terrier tampers; otherwise simply get them a plain pewter one.
Finding an appropriate gift for those who enjoy smoking can be challenging. These ideas offer some great solutions that will recognize their hobby without encouraging more smoking.
2. Pipe Cleaning Kit
Maintaining the quality and cleanliness of your pipe with regular maintenance is vital for its long-term enjoyment and functionality. This kit contains everything needed for optimal pipe care and looks great too!
This kit includes custom-made neon green pipe cleaners with 5mm in diameter that are sure to keep a pipe’s stem free of tar and residue, as well as cleaning liquid that will brighten briar pipes so they keep their luster.
Metal Medwakh Pipe cleaners should be an essential item in every Medwakh smoker’s pouch as they help ensure the carb hole and mouthpiece remain germ-free. Easily used, compact and user friendly; these cleaning tools make life much simpler!
BJ Long 9-inch cleaners are my go-to pipe cleaners due to their medium stiff core wire, making it perfect for longer pipes like churchwardens and bent stems. Furthermore, their thin design fits down narrow airways while their extra absorbent cotton helps wick away moisture mid-smoke.
Chenille sticks make an ideal present for both kids and adults, as they’re versatile enough to be used in an array of art projects. Furthermore, these chenille sticks can also be used to clean narrow objects while making heatless curls for those wanting a low-heat way of getting curls in their hair without risking too much heat damage.
3. Tobacco Storage
Serious pipe smokers need an effective tobacco storage space. There are various methods of doing this, but the key to successful storage is keeping it cool, dark and dry – keeping the container away from sunlight can degrade and change its flavor while too much moisture could lead to moldy, unusable tobacco. Mason jars make an excellent long term storage option but serious smokers typically opt for an odorproof box equipped with features like rolling tray or tamper-evident lid if possible.
There are various tobacco storage boxes on the market, including PaigeBlaze Time Capsule Waterproof Tobacco Box and Discovery Stash Box. Both boxes are constructed from eco-friendly bamboo, featuring rolling trays, magnetic boards and odourproof jars – with strong hinges for effortless opening/closing action as well as an odourproof seal to maintain freshness of contents while remaining discreet and fresh for use at any time.
Humidors offer more permanent tobacco storage solutions in various sizes from 4, 8 or 16 ounces, including containers containing humidifiers that maintain optimal humidity levels, such as those made of wood, glass or metal with cork or non-absorbent materials inside for cork protection and cork-less construction. Humidors should be stored away from sunlight and heat sources as to maintain the best results for proper operation.
