Yes they are!!! And their blends and pipes are just as awesome.

You can find them here. With "Roctober" coming up he will probably be posting more and more of them.

Buddy of mine wanted to try the pipe so I told him I'd put together a lil sampler. But I dont keep much on hand, just a few regulars and stock was low so I picked up a bunch of 1oz bags of stuff I like to refill my own, and send off samples of each.
Frenchy Sunzabitches
Nightcap
EMP
Kendall Kentucky
Haunted Bookshop
Lane 1q
Carter Hill
Burley Without Bite
My Mixture 965
DFM
And 4oz of Ennerdale Flake (my favorite) to refill my jar
Grabbed a can of Plum Pudding too, never tried it but seen it mentioned a few times and wanted to try.
Got him a Country Gentleman, a Huck Finn and a pipe nail, and some pipe cleaners.
Anything else youd suggest adding for a noob starter package?

Maxpedition Beefy?
Actually crossed my mind last night when I was thinking about it. When I wrote out the list/review of contents to put in the box I did note that many of them can/will cause tongue bite for a noob.
Not something I really think about often. My preferences are VA heavy, and I can't recall the last time I got bitten. But was trying to think about when I first started, and what was helpful and not. Then I remembered how on a few occasions everything tasted like rubber for a week....
I'll toss that in the box. Thanks for the suggestion.
A bit pricey. Already in it for a good bit of change. Iif he actually gets into it, I'll toss him one next year. Have my doubts this is anything more than a passing curiosity. If he sticks with it, Absolutely.Maxpedition Beefy?
Not expensive at all either!! Wifey needs to hurry up and get a job so I can order a few things.
Rocktober is a thing? Cool! I have one that I've not yet smoked... (haven't finished my jaw-strengthening exercises yet)
I use a 10-count herf-a-dor for my carrying case. Holds two pipes (including my large chimney pipe) plus a couple of baggies of baccy, tamper/tool, lighter, and cleaners.
Helluva nice gesture, brother! Hope you make a convert out of him!
One other item you might want to do (and it's free!) is to create a YouTube channel and add the videos that you think would be most beneficial (how to pack, how to light, how to smoke it, etc.) and send him the link. Quite often we (especially *me*) gets wrapped up in the equipment that we forget that instructions to make the hobby easier would be equally appreciative.
