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.
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.
