I’m not sure what types of pipes were popular when smoking first started in Europe (haven’t really looked into it yet) but I know that long stemmed pipes were popular with certain cultures throughout history. There’s an account from John Adams when he was serving as ambassador to England in the 1780s (I think) meeting with the Tunisian ambassador to England. During the course of the meeting pipes and coffee were brought out. Adams mentioned having to rest the bowl of the pipe on the floor just to be able to smoke it because it was so long

Very surprised to not see Chiseled Face Sherlock and Stirling Green on this thread, as they are both wonderful tobacco scents!
Stirling Green is a Polo knockoff, but,
Sherlock smells exactly like it’s sposta: someone smoking a pipe in a library in the 20s while wearing a leather aviator jacket.
Was hoping for a sweeter “cigar-shop” scent, so “Full Measure of Man“ might be in my future, but this one by Chiseled Face knocks it out of the park. Puck strength: 3/10, lather strength: 5/10.

I just received Stirling Haverford Soap and Splash earlier this week.
The lather is creamy, slick and give you a nice post shave feeling, and the scent is beautiful.
The Splash is great, very nice post shave, the scent is the strongest yet, it sits for a whole day.
Onmly problem is, I love the scent, the wife hates it, she says it's too strong.
Well, a new aftershave is a lot cheaper than a new wife, so . . .
That sounds really familiar...my wife does not like many of my other AS as well...but like what @Cino mentioned, the alternatives are more expensive...
My wife hate Tabac, RR Puros, TGS Heliotropium, TGS Savage and Haverford, plus some of my more obscure after shaves like Wars and Dinegro.That sounds really familiar...my wife does not like many of my other AS as well...but like what @Cino mentioned, the alternatives are more expensive...
But she do like TGS Orange Empire, RR Emperor, TGS Furiah and RR Chicago
Wow! I do hope you are allowed to wear those aftershaves despite your wife's dislike...it's a waste to ignore those excellent splashes...
The last 2 Cigarish-Tobacco scented shaves...My absolute 2 favorites!!
