a great retailer in the past for me is affordablepipes.com. they are knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. he also has some amazing hand-crafted tampers and pens and such. i definitely say check them out, especially if you aren't looking for high-end dunhills and such, but want (what else?) and affordable pipe! oh, and the guys at asp are amazing as well. i have been a member there for years; thats where i got my idea for the PIF (sorry it fell through, but i am glad SlowTriathalete is doing his thing ). check them out as well!

Thanks Scott, that needed to be done.

I meant to do this as I was slogging through all the information out there, but never got a round tuit. Thanks for doing it Scott!

Very nice list of sites. Thanks for starting me on my research. Looking to smoke in the house and I have always liked pipes. Way back a buddy and me had some corn cob and cpt black. Good stuff. Now i am looking to "graduate". Have no idea what kind of pipe to look for so i will start looking. Same too for tobacco. Thanks again for the links.

I've dealt with Payless Pipes before - they're pretty good. http://www.paylesspipes.com/

And, if you're just getting into pipes, I'd advise getting their "basket deal". 3 pipes for only $64.95 - pick either 2 straights and 1 bent stem or all bents.

Just added a few more sites to the list up top. These are all for Pipe Making. I have decided to take the plunge as my wintertime project. I will take pictures and document as I go. Wasn't sure if anyone else was interested so I thought that I would post them.

www.leafandale.com and milantobacco.com are both fairly handy.
