Smoking pipes from a true pipe enthusiast

4 January 2024

The year is only a few days old and the first acquisitions have already been brought in. This is an important donation of a series of high-quality tobacco pipes that were smoked between 1980 and 2020 by a Rotterdam pipe enthusiast. The pipes were purchased over a period of twenty years and represent a well-considered choice from what quality pipes were available at the time. This provides a wonderful overview of major brands, which shift from classic English and Danish in the 1980s to more refined Italian. The smoker clearly had a preference for straight grains, aesthetically the most beautiful and finest versions of optimal craftsmanship. Contemporary smoking is a chapter that we must now collect, experience shows that many consumables are thrown away faster than they deserve.
