Title edited for brevity and capitals. Please see Rule 9.


Original: I posted this awhile back but I didn’t get any response so I will try again. Is anyone familiar with Sir Walter Raleigh pipes?


I have a Sir Walter Raleigh pipe I wanted to see if anyone knew anything about?

I don't know anything about the pipe but it's a good looking one.

It was likely a coupon pipe, it was common for years to find a coupon in the top of your tobacco tin that you could collect four or five of them and send off for a free pipe. Amphora sold nearly all their pipes this way. Your pipe was likely made for Brown & Williamson by Sparta Pipe Work in Sparta, NC. As a Sir Walter Raleigh Pipe tobacco coupon pipe.

Thank you for the information. I figured it was something like that. I appreciate you responding

What's your take on the pipe? How does it smoke?

It’s a nice looking pipe. I’d fire it up!

I actually have not tried it yet. I will give it a go and let you know

There used to be ads for inexpensive branded pipes on the inner flap of tobacco pouches. I used to collect the Captain Black ones and also have a couple Smoker's Pride, all from at least 20 years ago. All mine were great deals for the low cost. The free ones for coupons must have been before my time (inflation!).

How many Captain Black pipes do you have? Do you have a photo of one of them you could share?

 

[romaso]

They used to sell three shapes in each line. I'd always get the straight and bent billiard (the third was usually a bulldog or lumberman). They had half a dozen lines over the years, different finishes and staining, all in a nautical theme: Windjammer, Sloop, Galleon, etc. All with their anchor trademark on the stem. I could dig them out if you wish.

Here's a photo of two from the internet. It was fun collecting them, great deal when I was getting started!

I like the blast on the second one. It is a good looking pipe. How many do you have?

Here’s my Captain Black pipe.

I've probably got 8 or so, also have a humidor, pipe stand, even a belt buckle! Good memories, I still smoke the Royal sometimes

Cool, Do you know of other tobacco products that had their logo on pipes?

 

[romaso]

Some of the big brands do, like Peterson (the tobaccos came later) and Rattray's.
For the OTC market, I know Smoker's Pride did. They were a great deal for the cost:

Old "cutter" tin, right? I'm old, but not old enough to date this from memory. Anyone know? I do remember advertisements for the tobacco pipes in old Popular Mechanics magazines, I think. Fifties, '60s, maybe early '70s is the best I can come up with.
