Show Me Your Walt Disney World Pipes

[mikethompson]

Does anyone have a collection of Walt Disney World pipes?

I was half looking for one as I will be heading there next week, but never found a good one. I remember reading they were made by Dr Grabow?

I'd like to get a shot of the tobacconist as it is now, I think the Indian is still out front?

@brianlevine has them all.

@brianlevine has them all.

I think you are right. It would be nice to walk visit WDW & enjoy smoking one.

I've always looked for a Disneyland pipe. Would also love to see pictures from inside the shop on Main Street.

I was there a few months ago, there are two Indian statues, one of front of the music store (used to be the tobacconist), and the other is in frontier land. They were there in January.

I live less than an hour away, grew up here, had the yearly pass, 427 bucks or whatever was a deal, i would go and bring a couple cigars to people watch, smoke one at the smoking area by the Tom Sawyer boat launch and one in the Italy pavilion in epcot by the fountain, best people watching sites in the parks, but with the smoking ban i have no reason to go anymore.

When i was in my early teens and my dad had business in Orlando on a weekend he'd drop me and a friend off there and we'd run around the park and always hit the penny arcade and the magic shop, all of which is long gone and now just part of that one massive store that runs all the way down the left side of main street .. it's too bad. We went once when Epcot was first open, not all the countries were even done yet, but we were 15 and went to the crown and rose or whatever the hell the name of the english restaurant was and we started ordering beers and they kept bringing them, two 15yr olds shit faced stumbling around epcot is now a core memory LOL

Be prepared to pay for them. Once you put the Mouse on a pipe a 25 dollar estate goes for 250.

I've been to Disney World once during the 1970's gas crisis. My cousin drove me over from Ft. Myers in the family's Triumph roadster which was very good on gas. I didn't get a pipe, but I didn't wait in lines either. It was a cool way to see the place with the parking lot more than half empty. I liked the haunted mansion.

However, I did own an L.L. Bean pipe for quite a few years, a straight pot with good thick walls. I finally unloaded it for having a somewhat restricted draw, but it was a nicely made pipe. My best guess was that it was made by Dr. Grabow, but there were more U.S. briar pipe makers in those days, so it could have been another brand.

It is amazing what things go for now a days. Those by themselves are $25 if they're lucky. But a soon as you slap on the Disney logo the become very pricey to me. I think the thing to do is ship them to Brian Levine if he wants them.

My family is from Tampa so we went every year. My first romp through Epcot was 1983 I was 16 and we drank around the world while chain smoking Marlboros. The shots of tequila and the river ride in Mexico did me in. I remember the monorail ride back to the Polynesian was like Space Mountain. Still not sure what my parents were on since they never seemed to notice. We also went to Busch Gardens every year and pounded the free samples of Bud products. The good ole days when a teenage kid could get hammered in public and no-one noticed.

I went to the Main Street Tobacco Shop as a ten-year-old pipe collector. They didn't have a big selection. I bought a Medico Brylon yachtsman I lost ages ago, and a Pioneer gourd calabash with what I was told was absolutely a meerschaum bowl (it was porcelain). That was 1989, and I know they still sold tobacco, too. I recall the employee being friendly.

Last time I was at Disneyland was 2012, but the cigar store indian was still in front of the building, and I believe there was a second in Frontierland like WDW has. I don't think anything open to the public occupies the tobacco shop space now.

I looked at what I have here for pics but it seems to be in one of my storage shed boxes. I would have enjoyed showing the two I have.

Brian Levin hosts his collection on a dedicated Facebook page:

You are right! We were clearing out basement out of books, crap,etc. I found my daughters Disney penny/quarter machine rolled collection, we spend days acquiring. I asked her if she wanted it, nope. I almost threw it away, but googled it, yikes - I sold it on Ebay for $150 in a few hours. Her and I then both laughed!

Her Disney "collector pins" we also spend days finding? Just about worthless. (some are worth hundreds of dollars)

I remember the L.L. Bean pipe. I had a small full bent model. My recollection is that the gimmick was that a pipe cleaner remained in the pipe to ensure a dry smoke.
