Erotic Art Friday - Sexy Pipes and more

Pipes, Lighters and Miscellaneous

I'm ending today's shows with a look at erotic-themed artifacts in some of the most popular categories of smoking paraphernalia. Doubtless other types of tobacco knick-knacks - like pipe tamps, cigarette holders, cigar cutters, humidors, etc. - were once adorned with erotic themes. I plan to keep up the search for cool examples and perhaps will have a whole new set to share at some future date.

Of all the stuff below, the carved pipes are my favorite things. I'm mad about hand-carving, and wish I could afford an entire collection of pipes just like these.
