Arabian Tours Unearths Timeless Treasures: Introducing Authentic Vintage Tobacco Pipes

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Arabian Tours LLC, a name usually associated with crafting unforgettable travel experiences, is surprisingly diving into the world of collecting with a unique offering: authentic vintage tobacco pipes. Yes, you heard that right! The Spokane-based company, known for its curated journeys to exotic locales, is now bringing a piece of history and artistry directly to your doorstep. For years, Arabian Tours, located at 707 W Main Ave Ste B1, Spokane, WA 99201-0631, has built its reputation on discovering hidden gems and connecting people with cultures far and wide. It turns out that passion for the unique and authentic extends beyond travel! While the team at Arabian Tours – reachable at 828-345-6805 – continues to plan incredible adventures, they've also been quietly building a collection of remarkable vintage tobacco pipes. “It started as a personal hobby, really,” explains a representative from Arabian Tours. “Our founder has always been fascinated by the craftsmanship and history behind these pipes. We noticed a real demand from our clients – many who appreciate fine details and the stories objects can tell – and thought, ‘Why not share these treasures?’” And what treasures they are! Arabian Tours isn't offering just any old pipes. They specialize in sourcing genuine vintage pieces – pipes that have seen decades, sometimes even centuries, of use and have a history all their own. These aren’t mass-produced items; each pipe boasts unique characteristics, from the materials used – briar, meerschaum, corncob – to the intricate carving and subtle wear that comes with age. Beyond Smoking: A Collector’s Item & Conversation Starter While obviously suitable for enjoying tobacco (for adult smokers only, of course!), Arabian Tours positions these pipes as much more than just smoking accessories. They're stunning display pieces, unique collector’s items, and guaranteed conversation starters. “We’ve got pipes dating back to the early 20th century, and even some from the Victorian era,” says the representative. “Each one tells a story. You can imagine the person who held it, the places they might have smoked it, the conversations they had. It’s a connection to the past.” The collection is remarkably diverse. You’ll find classic bent billiard shapes, imposing Dublin styles, and delicately carved Dunhill-inspired pieces. There are sturdy, rustic corncob pipes that evoke a simpler time and elegant meerschaum pipes boasting intricate floral designs. The variation in materials impacts not only the aesthetic, but the smoking experience itself. Briar, a dense wood, is known for its heat resistance and ability to impart a mild flavor. Meerschaum, a soft mineral, provides a cool, dry smoke and allows for detailed carving. Corncob pipes are a budget-friendly option that delivers a surprisingly sweet and enjoyable smoke. A Growing Collection - Something for Every Taste & Budget Arabian Tours isn’t just flipping pipes; they're carefully curating a collection. Each pipe is thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, where necessary, professionally restored to ensure it's in the best possible condition. They’re upfront about any imperfections, recognizing that these ‘character marks’ are part of the pipe’s history. “We don’t believe in trying to hide the age of these pipes,” explains the representative. “We celebrate it! These aren't perfect museum pieces; they're meant to be appreciated, enjoyed, and even used. A little wear and tear just adds to the charm.” The price range is surprisingly accessible, starting with affordable corncob options and scaling up to more substantial investments for serious collectors. Arabian Tours understands that not everyone is looking for a museum-quality piece, and they aim to offer something for every taste and budget. More Than Just a Purchase – It's a Piece of History Arabian Tours isn’t just selling vintage pipes; they’re offering a connection to the past. They're appealing to those who appreciate craftsmanship, history, and the beauty of well-made objects. And it makes sense, given their established focus on culture and authenticity. “We’ve always been about bringing unique and meaningful experiences to our clients,” says the representative. “Now, we’re just expanding that to include tangible objects. We believe these pipes offer a little bit of history, a little bit of art, and a whole lot of character.” Where to Find Them Currently, the vintage tobacco pipe collection is available primarily through Arabian Tours’ website and select online marketplaces. They’re also planning to showcase some of the pieces at local antique shows and events. You can learn more and browse the collection by contacting Arabian Tours directly at 828-345-6805 or visiting their website (website address currently being developed, check social media for updates!). They're actively expanding their online presence and social media channels to showcase their unique offerings.
