A blog about pipes and pipe smoking.
About Me

- "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
About this blog
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.

Santa and sealing wax. Great stuff. I wonder why Santa so clearly seems to favor the clay pipe? It's a great pipe, but I think I would like to see more santas with corn cobs.
ReplyDeleteTradition, I suppose. In "A Visit From St. Nicholas" the right jolly old elf clenches a "stump of a pipe" which indicates a clay pipe; these typically started out long and as the ends shattered they got shorter and shorter.
