My visit to the Amsterdam Pipe Museum

I have been there twice now.  The first time was in October 2017 and is the visit that I started this thread from.  My second visit there was this past October (2018).

The first time that I was there, I think that I spent a little under an hour and a half there between the guided toured of the museum and looking around the shop.  The guided tour of the museum took a little under an hour.  I was under time constraints during that trip as I was in The Hague on business and had just enough of a window of free time to take the train to Amsterdam, visit the museum and shop, and rush back to the train station to return to The Hague.

For my second visit this past October, I was not constrained by time as I had the weekend free in Amsterdam on my way to The Hague after spending the previous week in Stockholm.  I did not take the museum tour during my second visit.  I spent about an hour in looking around the shop and chatting with the owner.  Once he realized that me with my ponytail and beard and jeans was really a tobacco pipe smoker and not someone looking for another type of pipe shop in Amsterdam, he had a wonderful long chat while I looked at pipes.  I just wish this shop would accept t plastic and wasn’t cash only.  I went more prepared for my second visit since I didn’t know about it the first time that I was there.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?), this kept me from splurging on a straight grain Poul Winslow bent Brandy.

This thread talks about the pipe that I bought during my first visit:
