A South American pipe as a gift

22 dicembre 2025

It was a great surprise when we received an exceptional pipe in the mail. It was sent by a visitor from six months ago. This pipe smoker from Argentina felt that a modern pipe from his home country could not be missed in our collection. A pipe maker friend made a pipe for us, but not from briar. This one is made from guaiuvira, a native tree found in the border region of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Hard enough to smoke and uniquely designed with a smoke chamber in the second part to cool the smoke slightly. Even before the pipe has been entered into our collection database, you can see it pictured here. Perhaps there are other pipe makers who create something unique and would like to be represented in our museum collection? Let us know!
