Hargar De Luxe Pipe?

[kapco]

I am very new to pipes..infact I have done very little research into pipes and this seemed to be a good place to start. I have a Pipe "set" (I am sure there is a proper name for this,..please dont step on me too hard)that has a pipe, glass ash tray and a place to keep the tobacco. It was my great Grandfathers (1978-195?). All I know is that it has the name "Hargar De Luxe" and has a little stamp "Genuine Briar".

Can anyone shed some light on the vintage of this setu-up?

It's not so much about what you some, so long as you enjoy it.

First, welcome aboard. I found nothing, but from what I've seen, old briar is good briar. Great grandads stuff is real cool.

Pictures would help..dunno what it'll help, but I promise pics will help :mrgreen:

I see I spelt it wrong...it was suposed to be Hargar. But yeah, couldn't find anything myself.

Any recomendations on a tabacco for a first timer?

Captain Black white is always a good choice!

thank you for the suggestions As I live in Canada ordering from US sites will be a pain in the a** to get the stuff across the border. There are a couple tobacco shops around I will hit up. I love the smell of thos pipes that have a subtle chocolate smell.
