I know these were supposedly smoked by Hugh and given out, I also seen you can order them from the magazine in the late 60's.

I doubt the one we go was smoked by Hugh, I looked through the last 10 years of sold listing and barely any have ever been listed.

Probably as much as one of his used pajamas. I'm going easy. After all we are family oriented.

It went for $2,240!! That is way more than I thought it would go for. Are people nutS??

Hugh made a fortune on rebelling against his straight-laced upbringing. He monetized erotic repression. I think his daughter inherited the whole industry, and though not the corporation it once was, I'm sure she still turns a massive profit.

One of the Chicago skyscrapers, once called the Prudential Building, became the Playboy Building for a while. Now it is something else.

As a teenager, I thought Hugh was distinctly un-cool. His TV show had some great guests in comedy and jazz, but he was so stiff as a host, he was like Ed Sullivan. He tried to look super cool, but was somewhat Nixon-esque.

Well yes his actual pipe, but even the auction estimate was topping out at a couple hundred bucks.

A pipe of that shape, isn't really going to have any added value because it happens to be the shape of Hugh's pipe, it's just another estate pipe from some random person.

I think one of his pipes went for 11k in the same auction, I dont know who the heck would pay that.

Yeah I only seen 1 on ebay I think in the past 10 years and it was around 200 dollars sold.

I wouldn't put one of his pipes in my mouth. Who knows where its been.

I wonder how much one of Clinton's cigars would sell ?

To the right collector, it is worth something.

No, it was the Palmolive Building.
