Another “5th Anniversary”

The days are getting shorter, and we're seeing more and more people wearing scarves or turning up the collars of their coats as they walk around.
Now, in addition to the "IKEBANA" 5th anniversary model that I introduced previously, there is another 5th anniversary model pipe. This one is also a Salon de Shimaji model from Tsuge Seisakusho's "Drew Estate".


Shimaji: "Unlike the standard model, I had the mouthpiece made in an off-white color resembling ivory. The Salon de Shimaji logo is clearly engraved on the body and bottom."
This pipe also comes with a special tamper.



Shimaji : "This pipe is excellent for both beginners and advanced users, allowing you to easily enjoy a delicious smoke. Plus, it can be easily disassembled, making cleaning a breeze."
Regular cleaning is one of the keys to enjoying your pipe to the fullest, so please give it a try.


Shimaji: "Both of these 5th-anniversary model pipes are fantastic. Just looking at them makes you want both, doesn't it? In times like that, the motto is, 'When you find something beautiful, buy it without hesitation!'"

Our Shimaji-san recommends both without giving customers a chance to hesitate, but for pipe enthusiasts, both are incredibly rare and desirable items. The flavors must be vastly different... No, they're not! (laughs)
If you happen to encounter one at a salon, why not accept it as fate and welcome it into your collection of treasured possessions?
