Cigar bags on our website
25 July 2013
A paper cigar bag might seem a trivial object, and indeed most of them are disposed regardless after bringing home one or a few cigars from the local shop. Nevertheless, the Amsterdam Pipe Museum has several hundreds of these nineteenth century paper wrappers in the collections. They are now included in the online database. Visitors with a topographical interest, genealogists and regional historians can retrieve them online by searching www.pipemuseum.nl.
PermalinkAdditions to the study collection

The Amsterdam Pipe Museum was able to add a few new items to the extensive reference collection. We bought ten clay pipes made by the firm P. Goedewaagen & Sons in Gouda that were still missing in our collection. They represent the most luxurious finish at the time (1930’s) that was too expensive for most smokers: a white glaze all around the pipe bowl.
