World Pipe Smoking Day
20 February 2025
Today is International Pipe Smoking Day, where all pipe smoking enthusiasts come together to celebrate their good taste and innocent habit. We all remember Sherlock Holmes as the iconic pipe smoker. That is why we choose this special specimen from our collection as a photo for this day. This Peterson pipe has become an icon itself. Enjoy your pipe!

The first acquisition of this year, somewhat later than usual, we acquired in auction today . It is a special Inuit pipe made from a flat piece of walrus tusk or morse. At the bottom the image of a squid is carved, possibly a humpback whale. The pipe is also interesting because the transition from the characteristic Inuit pipe with the minimal bowl started here. Not long after, most Inuit smoked pipes derived from the Western European type to smoke more tobacco at the same time.
