    Thank you, Carl Weber!

    Walked into my local bookstore (a mom & pop!) and found a hardcover print of The Pleasures of Pipe Smoking. Was quite excited to read and have a nice pipe. Enjoyable read with a nice pipe indeed. :puffpipe: Thanks for shedding light on this great find. Carl has a great way of writing. Cheers!
