Im not really sure if i can put this under the category of a tabbaco smoking pipe. As its a cigarette pipe. Well a few days ago when i visited my granny's house i found a box of my grandpas old stuff. After searching through it i found a cigarette pipe. When i asked my granny she said it was my grandpas old cigarette pipe. It dosent have any markings so im guessing it was probably made by a unknown pipe maker back in the day. Its qiute old as my granny remembered my grandpa had bought and used to smoke it along time ago.
Its in great condition for its age. Its one of my favourite pipes as its the only one ive got from my gramps as all the other tabbaco pipes he had where thrown away or lost which is a shame. I can even smell the tobbaco that he had last smoked probably around 10 years ago as he passed away in 2015. Unfortunately it was his own hobby that took his life. he passed from lung cancer. The old man used to smoke so mutch that he had jars outside filled up with cigarette buds. Also can someone tell me if there are there any pipes similar to this shape? Anyway i though id just share this memory with yall.
have a great day!

I've never seen such a thing. What were his favourite cigarettes?
His favourite cigarettes where a brand called drina i dont know if you have ever heard of them but they where and still are popular in the former yuguslavia. He also smoked some malboro and chesterfield. Ive also never seen qiute anything quite like it. Its a unique pipe. Ive scoured the internet for anything that looked similar but unfortunately i havent found anything yet.

Wow! That's a pretty unique looking piece. It's angled a bit like a late 19th - early 20th century cheroot holder. Cigarette holders were quite the rage during the first half of the 20th century, sleek long holders that were used as a sophisticated upper class smoking accessory, one that prevented getting tobacco smell on one's fingers or staining one's gloves. Later on, it was primarily a women's fashion smoking accessory.

One of my friends is a refugee from Sarajevo, she's there now on holiday so I sent her a PM about Drina - yes, they are still on sale, she was shocked that I knew :ROFLMAO:
