"An unpopular opinion concerning politics or religion lies concealed in the breast of every man; in many cases not only one sample, but several. The more intelligent the man, the larger the freightage of this kind of opinions he carries, and keeps to himself." --Mark Twain
This blog is about my hobby of collecting and smoking pipes. I do not collect the very finest and most expensive pipes. I do not have a large income and I collect the pipes that I can afford. Such is one of the beauties of pipe smoking: there's room for everyone, if you can find your niche.
I have three other blogs: Blogonomicon, wherein I focus on my other interests of books and music and blog on various other topics that interest, amuse, and outrage me; The Last Ancient House, which is a collection of fiction and poetry inspired by H.P. Lovecraft; and The Hunter Chronicles: The Diary of a Vampire Hunter, another fiction project which is still largely a work in progress.
The Cellar
You can view my infrequently updated stash of pipe tobacco at my online tobacco cellar.
Okay, so it isn't a pipe ad, but it's my blog and I'll post what I want. This 1934 ad for Campbell's Tomato Soup features an image of one of my favorite authors, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), smoking what appears to be a Peterson and contemplating a very large tomato.
Fantastic! I didn't know Twain smoked Peterson pipes!
