The Free Pipe Project started many years ago in response to the overwhelming generosity I received from the pipe community. Since then we have been able to serve over 200 new pipe smokers sending out pipes, tobacco, and all kinds of other pipe related goodies. Since being featured on the Pipes Magazine Radio Show I have gotten a great response from the community and many donations have come in. In order to keep this page and the project fresh I'll be starting a new page each year.
So what is it? The FPP is a place for new pipe smokers to get some help. We want you guys to experience the brotherhood that the pipe brings as you enter into our hobby. So if you are new and in need of pipes, tobacco, or just good advice on how to get started on the right foot, this is the place. We send out care packages containing two pipes, a few tobacco samples, as well as anything else pipe related that may have been donated. We just ask that you pay shipping and post photos of what you got, and of you smoking your new to you pipes. If anyone knows someone in need or is getting a friend into the hobby who needs a boost let us know that too and we will do what we can.
That being said, here is a pic of what has been donated in just the last couple of weeks from Brian Levine and others. A big thanks to Brian Levine who donated 8 brand new pipes and other goodies and to you all who have over the years and very recently also sent pipes, tobacco, tampers, pipe cleaners, racks, bags, and even money. Every little bit helps. If anyone wants to donate anything it would be greatly appreciated. Everything that comes in will go back out to new pipe smokers especially those in our military.

I am hoping that this offer is still available because I would like to participate. I just started smoking pipes around a year and half ago (formerly a cigar smoker) Recently, pipe smoking has replaced a lot of my cigar smoking. I have a few cobs and dr. Garbow and another pipe that has “magic” something stamped on it. It’s not really a magic pipe but I guess if you put something special in it then it might be. :lol:
