I’d stick big checks under the noses of movie and music stars that they could cash if they smoked pipes in public and in their art and otherwise promoted the hobby.

Let's see... you're not sure if a smoking room goes beyond the rules of "it must be related to smoking."
Hm. Not sure I can help you there. [:lol:]
Your list was tangentially related, and you can make anything tangentially related, like "world class antiques" and "crystal decanters".
My point was, you made an issue about it having to be SMOKING related, then checked off a wish list that had little or nothing to do with smoking. Just sayin.

First thing I would do is give $3 million to the best hospital in the US. That would be payment to put me back together again because I'm going to party my ass off for the first 6 months! After that, we'll see... :twisted:

In the spirit of the OP I should clarify, my politicians would ensure I was allowed to smoke totally unfettered by various regulations and laws. I would also be granted a writ which would prohibit vegans from getting closer to me than one mile, ten ... when I am smoking meats.

I would buy the Samuel Gawith company so I could have control of all the present and future Full Virginia Flake in the world and try to use the rest to bribe my way into membership into your new smoking room / club........

No membership. There would be an open door for anyone with a passion for pipes. :D
The only list would be for those who demonstrated that they didn't want to return. (drunk, rowdy, etc.)

Gather the 1000s of cat and dog strays and put them on an animal reservation. All who are willing would immediately begin to learn the gentle art of pipe smoking, and the unwilling would get a fat cigar, whether they wanted it or not. Inside my mansion I'd outfit a fine library, choosing every volume myself, Eastern theology, philosophy, psychology, literature and poetry.
Some say they already have enough tobacco, and I do, too, but sufficiency is never the point in a cellar that has reached it. Cellars, in the second phase, are about

superfluidity; that's right, excess. You won't smoke all of it, but that's hardly the point. You fell better knowing it's there. Thus to my sufficient cellar I'd add another 200 pounds, at least.
Pipes, ah! there's the ticket! Imagine being on the other side of the buying equation, able to buy as many pipes as you want rather than always window-shopping and feeling guilty when you buy. So I'd another 1000 or two to my collection. Maybe buy smokingpipes out.

Nothin''s wrong wit' th' Black Frigate, Captain. But th' new one, we could build out o' dunhills... jus' t' come along broadside 'n unload a full compliment sendin' her t' th' bottom o' th' sea! :mrgreen: While we smoke our pipes, of course.

It smells much better since we threw all of the Esotericas into the drink. Smelled like stables for months.

I shudder to think what became of the scallywag who smuggled those on board.

We stranded him with naught but a Chinese cob and a tin of Holly's Non Plus Ultra.
