“Wanda Neier lasted 32 minutes, 33 seconds”

Her husband, however, only lasted a minute and a half.

I just got the oddest feeling that @Briar Lee was in one of these pictures. Soaking in the tobacciana lore, bloodstream afire with love of Lady Nicotine, plotting on how to get a Marxman 400 into his clutches.

Two questions.

1. Who let in the snobs with the briars?
2. Why aren't the kids smoking?

A very young Paul Spaniola of Paul's Pipe Shop fame. I met him once, many years ago, and he gave a friend and I a tour of the smoking museum above his shop.

I feel like the biggest difference from then and now. Is we're all fatter and have more colorful clothing. Otherwise feels like the lowfi version of here.
