I really enjoyed that book. It’s a great read. I didn’t enjoy his second one as much, that one was basically all the scrap they cut from his first book, there are some decent chapters but it didn’t get my attention like the first one did. His books are obviously more pipe centric, doesn’t talk tobacco much at all. To sum it up, I think it’s worth a read, I’ve read it at least twice. I bought it during the start of transitioning to a pipe, so I was young and excited to learn everything I could. Back then I was still subscribed to P&T magazine which I found to be an excellent periodical. If you can find them, I highly recommend buying some. I am close to having the entire collection. It’s a shame they had to shut it down.
