Ceci n'est pas une pipe
J.M.C. Verhoeven 27-06-1947
a gift for my father, a memento for us
2013
I never saw my father without a beard and he smoked a pipe almost all his life.
In 2013 he turned 66. He was very ill at the time. I always thought and hoped he would turn 100.
That's why I made this gift for him. A pipe for every year of life. He died on March 12, 2014.
Every year on his birthday we add a pipe to the collection. Until June 27, 2047.
