First Post: Entering the Jungle

Welcome to Smoking Safari!

Why would someone blog about smoking? I was a tobacconist at Just For Him in Springfield, MO for almost 14 years and I enjoy the hobby of pipe smoking. I do view pipe smoking as a hobby - not a vice. Many people can not accept this position and I respect that. Thankfully, we live in a society that allows people to hold different views.

I envision this blog to be composed of the following: pipe tobacco reviews, pipe blending techniques, commentary on tobacco-related news, and general 'chit-chat' about pipes that I own or bought. Occasionally I may discuss places to buy tobacco and pipes, showcase pipe and tobacco sales that I encounter, and post semi-critical articles concerning some other aspect of this wonderful hobby.

For instance, my most recent pipe acquisition is a New Era Kaywoodie Prima Bent Apple ($45 with FREE SHIPPING) from Gray Fox. Currently, Gray Fox is offering a Christmas special on many of the wonderful pipes available for purchase online. I enjoy smoking the New Era Kaywoodie pipes and I think that they are a great value for your pipe smoking dollar. Check them out at http://grayfoxonline.com/

If you agree that pipe smoking is pure pleasure then please feel free to leave me a comment. Thanks for visiting!

  1. Nice pipe! I agree wholeheartedly about the New Era Kaywoodies. I own 2, a Bamboo and a Gray Fox 2007 POY, and they both smoke wonderfully. Lots of pipe for the money, and very reasonably priced.

  3. Nice looking blog Bob. I added you to my blogroll on my blog and posted about your blog. I hope to see more pipe smokers start a blog - if you can post on a forum or send an email, you can blog! Anyway, glad you got another one going.
