Smokiana pipeshop

Smokiana pipeshop is Holland’s national tobacconist specialising in tobacco pipes and pipe smoking. Having the largest selection of pipes and related items, Smokiana pipeshop offers the best choice in the country. In addition to this, in-depth knowledge and good service play an important role.

Smokiana pipeshop is not a commercial shop but is part of the Pijpenkabinet Foundation in Amsterdam, the national pipe museum housing our international collection. The shop however has its own name and a special entrance in the basement of the building, so the shop can be visited apart from the museum. The unusual name underlines the difference from the museum housed in the building.

The aims of Smokiana pipeshop are twofold. Firstly the shop stimulates the promotion of the tobacco pipe and knowledge of its cultural background. Smokiana pipeshop therefore offers the largest and most inspiring assortment for smokers and collectors. Secondly the shop supports the non-commercial activities of the Pijpenkabinet Foundation in Amsterdam, for instance by funding research and publications.

Smokiana pipeshop offers three types of merchandise:

• Modern tobacco pipes (in briar, meerschaum, clay) and related items for pipe smokers
• Antique pipes and tobacco related collectibles from Europe and ethnographic items from other continents
• A rich choice of books on these subjects, both modern and antiquarian

It is not our intention to put the full assortment on the internet. On this site we can only give you an idea of the atmosphere in the shop and some impressions of the items for sale. You are welcome to visit the shop and experience the atmosphere, good service and the eminent knowledge of our specialism yourself.

A small selection of sales items is listed in the column on the left and can be ordered on-line.
