This weekend the Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf published a large article on pipe smoking: a double spread indicated the ins and outs of the tobacco pipe. Pipe smoking, the reader learns, is instead of a troublesome addiction a pleasant way of life. Pipe smokers enjoy their chosen moment of tranquility and aromatic savour. Besides several illustrations from our vast collections, the article is dominated by a huge portrait of pipe smoking Benedict Goes. In short, a positive impulse for a historic and present-day ritual.

Second anniversary of the APM
Today it is exactly two years ago that we changed the mane of the Pijpenkabinet into Amsterdam Pipe Museum. We gained a lot of publicity and increased the number of visitors by the new name, but the Dutch audience is not yet fully accustomed to the change. This proves how well-known and wide-spread the brand name Pijpenkabinet was.
