The auctioneer will be one of the delegates and we will ask for a volunteer at the conference. A second volunteer will
assist with the administration of the auction. The set-up will be very simple and buyers are expected to pay in cash after
the auction. Items to be auctioned should be handed in to the conference organisers (or auction volunteer) on the first
conference day so there is plenty of preparation time.
We hope you will all enjoy this new addition to the program. For any questions please contact our secretary: Arjan de

Digital Archive
Although this section is still under construction, being filled with content, the aim is to create a digital database of
billheads, advertisements, catalogues, articles and other paraphernalia on tobacco pipes. As well as specialized topics
such as P. van der Want/Ivora (http://tinyurl.com/want-ivora)

Other people recognise his merits. In 1993 not only did Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Hamilton visit
his shop but he also had an audience with Pope John Paul II. In 1996 he received the German trade prize.
In 2005, in recognition of his contribution to the pipe world, Dunhill produced a special pipe for Peter (Fig. 2). This
unique straight grain pipe has a cover made of silver that depicts Cologne cathedral, which holds a special affiliation for
Peter. On the rim of the lid you can find Peters name.

Director. When I went to St. Claude, Jacques had returned to England with his wife. She was English and the French
way of life and the all seeing eye of her mother-in-law were not for her. She died leaving Jacques with two children
Elisabeth and Robert.
I was often told that Jacques fame in St. Claude was his organisation of a car race up the mountains. Anyone who knows
the area will know that speed up (or down) is not to be encouraged!
When I returned to the UK Jacques was taking over from Ropp Evans as Managing Director of Ropp Pipes Lty. This
Page | 8
UK Company sold Ropp cherry pipes to the wholesale trade. This division was later joined by E. Deguingand & Co.
Most of the Sales were to Cadogan Companies. Jacques then became an UK Salesman for Comoys based in London.
Sometime during all of this Jacques got married to Siva - a ball of fire and great fun. Since her death Jacques spent much
time in his flat in Brittany and from talks with him found a big gap in his life.
After Comoys came his most popular move - he started writing articles for Tobacco Magazine. He became a regular
commentator on trade matters and the history of the pipe trade. He collected trade history and became a keen member
of Academie Internationale de la Pipe in St. Claude and a friend of Bastion. He was the popular, friendly connection
between St. Claude and English trade, both modern and old pipes being well known to all and happy to talk.
Those who knew him will remember him with affection a gentleman and a friend.
