Pipe smoking, the good old days!

[crazyhog]

Hey all,
I found this article from the NY Times going back to 1964. It was a glorious time for pipe smoking!

A clerk at the Dunhill tobacco and pipe, shop on Fifth Avenue pointed to 22 full‐grain root briar pipes on the wall. The pipes, at $35 each, are the shop's prize product.

Funny.

How much is $35 in 1964 dollars worth?

Year Equivalent

2019 $284.57
Not cheap, but a bargain by today's Dunhill prices.
