I would add Obsidian Oil or mineral oil to your shopping list if your boyfriend's pipe has a vulcanite stem.

I've already learned so much, thank you all! Im so excited to surprise him with everything he needs to get started.
Also, any recommendations for an affordable, travel friendly pipe? His is long and won't fit in many carry cases. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but we're going backpacking for a week and I know he plans on taking it with him!

For backpacking you can’t beat a cheap Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe.
In fact, cobs are a great addition to any pipe smoker’s pipe collection.

something that's either rusticated or sandblasted. that way, if it's treated rough, it won't show much.
That's for cleaning. The oil's just for keeping 'em black.?or he can just use his spit. that's what i do
I'll second that notion, smoking some old dark fired right this moment.
Backpacking is great. I like the falcon for that. Cheap easy to care for smokes cool.

Also look into the Savinelli 320 . It's 20 bucks more than the Rossi at 80 bucks. Rossi branded pipes are Savinelli's budget brand. Nice pipes but for only 20 bucks more, you get the Cadillac instead of the Chevy not that there is anything wrong with Chevy's.....
For the price of the Rossi you can get a Dr. Grabow and two corn cobs. That's what I would do. (Not hating on the rossi, just don't know what her budget is)
Tobacco suggestions based on liking Laphroaig: Old Dark Fired and Peter Stokkebye's Proper English (a bulk blend you can buy a few ounces at a very affordable price). Black Frigate is great, smoky with rum notes. A couple of corn cob pipes (Missouri Meershaum not the cheap Chinese ones) are perfect for backpacking.
@Reagan Make sure you properly wash and sanitize the jars though, on occasion there can be little bits of glass dust and other stuff from manufacturing. Typically a quick run through the dish washer is plenty. Dry them well and make sure the bands and lids are washed and dried too.
as far as tobacco suggestions, maybe order some 1 or 2 ounce bags from smokingpipes.com? Cheaper and a ton of variety there, and easy to fill the jars without wasting the material from the tin. Also, some nice labels for the jars can be had at staples if you want to make them look really nice and classy.
I'll second the Seattle Pipe Club Potlatch. Great stuff. I'm sure your boyfriend would quite enjoy it.
