The holidays are here. It’s time to reach for the smokier blends to fill your  tobacco pipe, pull out our winter coats, and over-indulge in your favorite brown liquor.

Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or yourself, the holidays are full of opportunities to share a new favorite blend or indulge in a treat. Grab a drink from your Yeti like cooler and let's get started. This year we decided to ask some of our friends to help us recommend the perfect gift for your favorite pipe smoker. Our friends share their favorites at every price point.
