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.
Last time I was there in 2017

I have an estate Walt Disney World pipe i got from the original owner. He bought it at the Tobacconist at Disney World in 1968. No other markings on it.

Glad to see this one back from the dead. I never did get one before my trip

Not in 1968. Maybe 1978.

 

[super88piper]

I wouldn't know myself, I don't know much about them, but he was going through his pipes with me as I was looking them over and he said he got it when he was there in 1968 and there was a tag on one of the boxes with 1968 on it and I didn't get the feeling he was telling tall tale. Seemed like a nice old guy and no reason to lie. Never know I guess. What makes you think it was more likely from the 70's? I'd be interested to know the history of it.

Disney World opens in 1971. Maybe he just got confused.

 

[super88piper]

Maybe, I always get them mixed up, which one was Florida and which one was California. 1955 vs 1971. He had a dozen pipes, nothing super special, just ones he liked and were all well smoked and some with holes in the bits. He had a bunch of old tins and I think it was the tobacco tin that had 1968 on it like an old price tag sticker. I picked out the pipes that looked salvagable and this one of them. Needs to be refurbished, I just cleaned it and smoked one bowl so far. Smoked pretty good. At least I know a little more about it now. Thanks for the info.

2 in rough shape are listed on ebay $300 and $400

Last time i bothered to go, pre smoking ban, the tobacconist is long gone but the Indian was still there, mb some green hair complained anf it’s gone now too, but was there a couple years ago.

The Indian is actually the reason why we have so many pictures of the tobacconist shop, lots of people took pictures with him. Not surprised he's gone now

They are not worth it at all.

I picked up this Disneyland pipe on Saturday from EBay.

The graphics are consistent with their souvenirs from the 50's and 60's, so I'm guessing that it's pretty early on.
If anyone can identify the manufacturer, I would appreciate it.

Those graphics are great. I'd bet it's a WDC Wellington.

Edit: You don't often see a Disneyland pipe as most were Disney World pipes.
