I'd love to get one, but @brianlevine has a search on eBay for all the things so good luck at out-bidding.

Here is his collection you can look at:

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.

I bought an LL Bean pipe a few years ago and it's beautiful looking, but drilled so poorly that I barely smoke it. Not sure how hard it is to drill in a straight billiard, but alas, the draught hole looks like it's coming from the side of the bowl.

I have 9 Disney World Pipes, couple of match books, and a pouch of Disney World aromatic pipe tobacco. Have some pictures somewhere that I will try to find and post. Have posted pictures of all the pipes on here before if I remember correctly.

I

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

I was first there when in HS many, many, many years ago and my folks let me run off on my own for the day while they shepherded my younger sisters - no idea about the tobacconist, I just found a quiet spot far away from them and smoked some cigarettes I’d “smuggled” for the trip because, well, I was 15. Quit the cigarettes when I got engaged and that was that for smoking anything until discovering I enjoyed pipes not all that long ago.

We went to Disneyland (Orlando) in 2006 when our daughter was going into first grade and, much to my surprise, had a great time. It was "Gay Week" and the park was half empty. No waiting, lots of very polite gay couples of both sexes with kids and grandkids. It was the best behaved crowd I'd ever seen in a locale like that. We swore that we'd return some day and stay in the park when we did, but we never got around to it.

This has to be the worst pipe porn thread in the history of the forums

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

I feel like it's very difficult to justify a price of 250 for those pipes. But when something is appreciated among collectors you never know. If I had to spend 250 I would have many pipes before one of those.

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.

The Indian was moved front of the square.
