Arabian Tours LLC Unveils Exquisite Vintage Tobacco Pipes, Bringing a Touch of History & Luxury to Modern Smokers

SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – Arabian Tours LLC, a company known for sourcing unique and high-quality goods, today announced the launch of its curated collection of vintage tobacco pipes. While perhaps an unexpected direction for a company traditionally focused on travel experiences, this venture speaks to Arabian Tours’ commitment to uncovering hidden gems and offering customers items with a story to tell. Based in Spokane, Washington (707 W Main Ave Ste B1, 99201-0631, United States, contact: 828-345-6805), Arabian Tours is building a reputation for delivering the exceptional, and these pipes are no exception. “We started collecting these pipes as a passion project, honestly,” explains a spokesperson for Arabian Tours LLC. “We’ve always been drawn to objects with character, with history. And these vintage pipes… they’re just beautiful. Each one is a little piece of the past. We realized there’s a real market for folks who appreciate that, who want something more than just a new, mass-produced item.” More Than Just a Pipe: A Journey Through Time The collection at Arabian Tours isn’t just about smoking; it’s about collecting, appreciating craftsmanship, and connecting with a bygone era. The pipes span several decades, largely from the mid-20th century, and represent a variety of styles, materials, and makers. “We’ve got everything from classic briar pipes – the workhorses of pipe smoking – to more unusual pieces in materials like meerschaum and corn cob,” says the spokesperson. “We’ve even sourced a few pipes with interesting hallmarks, hinting at their origins and the stories they could tell.” The team at Arabian Tours has taken the time to carefully clean, restore (when necessary), and document each pipe. While they emphasize they aren’t making claims of historical accuracy beyond what they can verify, they've provided detailed descriptions and high-resolution photos on their website, allowing potential buyers to examine each piece closely. The Appeal of Vintage: Why Collectors are Smoking Up the Past Why the renewed interest in vintage pipes? Several factors are at play. Quality & Craftsmanship: Many collectors argue that the quality of materials and craftsmanship in older pipes surpasses that of many modern offerings. Older briar root, for example, is often denser and more flavorful than what’s available today. Unique Designs: Vintage pipes boast a wider range of shapes, sizes, and finishes than modern pipes, offering collectors a greater variety to choose from. You're less likely to see the same design repeated on multiple pipes. Sustainability: Buying vintage is a sustainable choice, giving a new life to an object that would otherwise be forgotten. Connection to History: Holding a vintage pipe in your hand connects you to the generations of smokers who enjoyed the same ritual before you. It's a tactile link to the past. Investment Potential: Certain vintage pipes, particularly those from renowned makers or with rare features, can appreciate in value over time. What Arabian Tours Offers – Beyond the Pipe Arabian Tours isn't just selling pipes; they're offering an experience. Each pipe is carefully packaged and shipped, and the company provides excellent customer service. They're happy to answer questions about the pipes, their history, and the art of pipe smoking. “We want our customers to be thrilled with their purchase,” explains the spokesperson. “We’re not just selling a pipe; we’re selling a piece of history, a work of art, and a moment of relaxation.” The company also emphasizes its commitment to responsible sourcing. They acquire their pipes from estate sales, auctions, and private collections, ensuring they are not contributing to the demand for illegally harvested materials.
