Guys, I think you may really like this one...


...written by a seminarian who found pipe smoking a spiritual experience. A fun read that you can easily download if you wish...

Take it from me - this is actually a brilliant piece of work that will tickle your medulla - and soul as well...

Note: a very interesting section on blending on page 22 and a number of his recipes in the final pages of the end addenda...

a bump for a reason...


I finally had a bit of time to start actually reading this with care and found it more than competent. This is really a brilliant piece, reads easily and won't take you nearly as long as you imagine.

I know both Dai and da'rum will like this one, a combination of (truly now) - pipe theology as he defines itm and lots of practicality as well. He is near fanatical about meerschaum, but its his overall take that is completely unique, and not just another older manuscript.

Length: more like a short story. Do me this: read the first 15 pages (won't take you long at all) and you'll be hooked. I guarantee it.
