The Guildhall London Pipe 164

England, 1950-70s There was a legend about a white spot, which was made out of a whole elephant. That is why all pipes with the white spot are so expensive.

COMOY’S David’s 1459
May 9, 2014February 5, 2019
England When we looked for Comoy’s pipe recently in Internet we have discovered that many modern Comoys are produced in Denmark.
