Wow! Full on trip for sure. My Dad was a South and Central Americas wing shooter for a long time thru the 1980’s. My trip to Argentina was cancelled in ‘87 due to the Mutiny. Dad had some interesting “guides and outfitters”.
A Visit to Patagonia Pipes Shop in Buenos Aires

Looks like you had a nice trip!! Do you speak Spanish or do they speak English??
Beautiful place to visit. Will take a note of this shop if I ever visit there!
No, unfortunately I don't speak Spanish although I am making an effort to learn some. English ability of the Argentinians is mixed, naturally, but most people in the tourist areas of the capital of Buenos Aries (including the pipe shop owner) speak enough English to be able to communicate. In the more rural areas English is hit or miss (mostly miss). In the hunting/fishing areas, for example, while the outfitter and the ranch/lodge owners spoke very good English (since they primarily cater to US sportsmen) the English ability of most of the actual guides was very limited. But a few basic words and hand signals seem to make things work!
Spanish fundamentals aren’t really that hard to learn. I struggled most of all with the „r“, but in Catalonia for example they don’t roll it that much as it n other regions of Spain, so…
Not the same place. Monk is from Bahia Blanca.Sounded like a great time, nice shop too, ohh they also have a website.

Patagonian pipes has a great selection of high grade estate pipes
Best beef in the world.
We are the country that consumes the most beef per capita in the world.
As for the climate, it is very varied, very. Eternal snow in the mountains, dry deserts in the North, scorching cold in Tierra del Fuego, endless wind in Patagonia, tropical jungle in Mesopotamia and so on...
We are friendly.
But we are not like Europe, we are deeply South American.
Okay, standoffish. Brits are rather friendly. They are very welcoming unless you run into them after aWhat the f...k makes you think we are unfriendly people
I love my time in Argentina.
It's time for me to go so I can explore the tobacco store

Not sure about the Monk page, but looks like the right website. Here it is below, with correct street address of Rodriguez Pena 1713 in Buenos Aires:

Definitely got my share of the fine Argentinian beef while there -- the meat eating culture is one of the biggest attractions for me! Yes, everyone does "have to" go see Evita's tomb to check it off the list, but I enjoyed the pipe store more!! Another cool shop you have to visit if you go to Buenos Aires again is Arandu (also in Recoleta; website Talabarteria, productos de campo y deporte a caballo - ARANDU - https://arandu.com.ar/ ). I make a point of visiting there every time I have gone to Argentina. Love that place for gift shopping...

Although I can understand the fascination with Evita, and the Recoleta cemetery has a good dose of classical art, I never found it interesting to search for that grave.
I was being somewhat facetious in my remarks. While I spent a fair amount of time exploring the cemetery, admiring its artistic aspects, I never did, in fact, find Evita's tomb. Nor did I go out of my way looking for it.
