Another good show.
Other books you might mention. The Ultimate Pipe Book, Pipe Smoking in the 21st Century and the Christmas Pipe by Richard Carleton Hacker. The Ultimate Pipe Book helped launch me into pipe smoking in the early 80's. To me a must for any new (or old) pipe smoker. I even have the video.
