Looking back at older images of people with their pipes, there seems to be a natural theme. From sailors to passengers, being out on the water seems to be the perfect time to strike a match, which is what brings us to this somewhat nautical look at pipes in days past.

Relaxing, discovering, working - is there any activity in daily life (exept, maybe, taking a shower) when you could not nicely smoke a pipe ?
@Wolfgang Hippke Cooking eggs apparently, especially if you do it the way our copywriter, Daniel, does it ;)
