“The Pipe”

[Lumbridge]

Put another way, you're already surrounded by things just as dangerous as asbestos, the risks are practically identical to Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber, if you ever put sandpaper to composite materials you're as good as swimming in asbestos.

Alright, you've talked me into it. I'm selling all my pipes right now and building an all-asbestos rotation. I laugh at the mortals who only smoke briars and meers.

The campus student union marked down a blue “The Pipe” to $8 and I bought it in the fall of 1976. It wasn’t all that bad a smoke, but what I valued it most was for the complements if got from girls in the lobby of the dormitory.

Here is wisdom, from the history of “The Pipe” on the collector page:

Venturi constantly conducted marketing surveys and, in the spring of 1972, discovered that over three-quarters of its higher priced pipes were being bought by women for their men. Intrigued, Myers commissioned Dr. Eleanor Criswell to conduct a study to discover what there was about pipes that caused women to want their men to smoke them. The results were surprising: in addition to the expected perceptions of pipe smokers as stable, mature, intelligent, etc., women identified their pipe smoking men as attractive, handsome, and, yes, sexy!
