The Briar Files: Vintage Ad (1940s): Coffee by J.C. Leyendecker

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.
