Matt and Darren both have great advice here.

If I may expand on the first part. Go with a couple Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cobs as well as a Briar that catches your eye. Don't feel like you have to drop over $100 on one, I have a great basket pipe I purchased for $30 or so 10 years ago that ranks among my favorites. If you're going to be tasting several blends, you will want to rotate through your pipes to allow them to dry between smokes.

The Mason jars are great for long term storage. You may find something you don't enjoy now, may be wonderful a year from now as your tastes change and evolve.


Pace your smoke, take your time
