Hi everyone,

I had my first smoke in seminary with pipe and tobacco borrowed from a classmate who's now a priest in Saskatoon. I got my first corncob and smoked it on my wedding day a decade ago. Now I mostly smoke with my billiard briar.

I'm about to teach a class on smoking in literature and essays, and I've been thinking about the pipe smoking community lately. I'm looking forward to reading some Kipling and Chesterton among others and watching Father the Flame with students. If you have favorite depictions of smoking you would like me to share with students, let me know!

Welcome from Montreal!

Howdy and welcome aboard from Ohio.

What part of SD do you live in? I get over to Sioux Falls about twice a year.

Welcome from California. There's always the works by Rick Newcombe; scholarship may be overrated in our community, pipe smoking and intellect are implied.

Very cool intro.

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but the Maigret series is a good example. @scloyd is the resident expert.

Welcome to the forum! Did you get any of that snow that walloped Winterpeg?

Check out Georges Simenon, author of over sixty Maigret (French pipe smoking detective) novels along with other novels.


Oh yeah, before I forget...welcome.

Welcome from Pennsylvania and New York.



In Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade's ritualistic rolling of his cigarettes and smoking is an interesting element in the novel.
