Retro Thing: Porsche Design 909 Tobacco Pipe

Few people have heard of it, yet many consider John Blankenbaker's KENBAK-1 to be the first commercial personal computer.

Koss introduced these headphones over 40 years ago, and they remain affordable favorites to this day.

Porsche Design 909 Tobacco Pipe

Ah, for the finer things in life. I'm a huge fan of Porsche Design. They have a way of decomposing even the most familiar items into the essence of modern style. To that end, they offer a series of $350 tobacco pipes which simultanously remind me of fast cars and exclusive wood-paneled clubs. My absolute favorite is their classically curved Model 909, crafted from 'the finest quality briar' with an acrylic mouthpiece. A matching aluminum pipe tool is available for $99. [Thanks, Dominic!]
