Bowl o' the Day

Saludos,
Greetings, pipe paisanos. Today we are enjoying Peterson’s De Luxe tobacco blend in a straight Savinelli briar pipe (Erica Fiamma 127). The blend is made of Black Cavendish and Virginias from Brazil and Africa and seasoned with honey, walnut and vanilla. A pleasant aromatic but do not smoke fast as it will bite a bit.

Bodum Storage Jar for Pipe Tobacco

Saludos,

Greetings, backers of Bodum. Here is a picture of the food-grade storage containers we use to showcase and house our bulk pipe tobacco. If you are not familiar with Bodum, let us introduce you. Bodum is a tableware and kitchenware company founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1944 by Peter Bodum and is known for its high-quality standards and focus on artistic and high aesthetics for its product lines. They are known for coffee equipment and presses, containers and other kitchenware.

We at Habana Port are an official merchant for Bodum and can special-order any product in their catalog. We currently have their Brazil coffee set, coffee grinder and demi-tasse (perfect for the espresso enthusiasts) for sale. Our Baton Rouge location is waiting on a shipment of Presso Jars from this company so we can finish our bulk pipe tobacco set-up. Bodum’s jars are perfect for storing pipe tobacco as it has a food-grade seal so the tobacco’s internal moisture content will not escape. If you would like to order Bodum online from us, visit CigarEarth.com.

Saludos,
Greetings, pipe people. We would like to introduce to you our Pipe Kit – a complete pipe set & guide. Just in time for the holiday season, this comprehensive fine pipe set is the perfect gift for those who are interested in delving into the world of pipe tobacco.
Starting at $49.95, this set includes an Italian-made Lorenzo briar pipe, a pipe tool (tamper and scoop), a set of pipe cleaners, matches and a sampler of four different one-ounce pipe tobacco bags. As far as the pipe, we have dozens of different models from which to choose. Whether you want a straight-stem or a bent-stem, a walnut color or cherry color, a matte finish or glossy finish, the choice is yours.
We also offer a pipe set for those that want a filter system. Starting at $74.95, this set includes the same offerings as above with the difference of a Lorenzo Filtro pipe and the addition of a ten-count set of charcoal filters which are effective at providing a cooler, cleaner and drier experience.
What is also attractive about this pipe set is that it includes a primer of how to prepare and smoke a bowl of fine pipe tobacco. This simple set of instructions clearly teaches the user how to enjoy a bowl of pipe tobacco, how to maintain and clean the briar pipe, and how to store pipe tobacco. The inside of the box also has a great illustration of the anatomy of a briar pipe. There is also a glossary of different pipe tobacco varieties thus introducing the beginner to the different names of tobacco leaves. The set comes beautifully packaged in a kraft box so it is easy for you to get that last minute gift to leave under the Christmas tree.
