Literary Themed Pipe Blends

[Erehwesle]

So I'm a reader, and writer, and trying to make a list of literary themed pipe blends to try.

C&D Haunted Bookshop
Tom Sawyer
The C&D Lovecraft themed blends
I know there are a number of Sherlock Holmes blends
I think Elizabethan qualifies, at least I'm saying so

any other suggestions?

For those interested that is a mid 70's Alder Contessa and a Jean-Pierre Lupin fountain pen. Pipe is a MM Elf Cobbit and the tobacco Haunted Bookshop

Ken Byron Ventures' "Byronic Slices"

Nice notebook, by the way.

 

[Chasing Embers]

The C&D Melville series.

Wouldn't it be cool if blends were named in dedication after persons and places in the Tolkien Universe? Just imagine! What a unique thing that would be to see over and over again.

I have been keeping a pocket notebook for a couple years. I have a terrible memory for a 30 year old and it seriously helps with that. I also started keeping a physical paper planner a couple years ago to help with dates and times. I find it easier to remember, of I write it down. My favorite...

Esoterica Tobacciana And So To Bed takes its name from the line Samuel Pepys often used to close his journal entries. It's also one of the tastiest sweet & sour English blends in existence.

The C&D Melville series.

Almost forgot my favorite 'gar blend, Billy Budd.

If you count screenplays, then Maltese Falcon.

It was a book, serialized in Black Mask, about a dozen years before it became a movie.

Musty old book smell is heavenly.

It’s a mix of that and library smell. Best I can describe. ?

No blend or brand names occur to me beyond those mentioned. But here are some possibilities.

T.S. Eliot Strong English -- he was born in St. Louis, Mo., but moved to England and became as British as he could

Captain Ahab -- Navy flake with rum

Amherst Garden -- a floral aromatic in honor of Emily Dickenson

Bow Hunter -- in honor of James Dickey, the poet

Teeth Mother -- from the Robert Bly poem "Teeth Mother Naked At Last"

Howl -- for the Allen Ginsberg poem

Grasshopper -- for the poet Mary Oliver

Weary's Castle -- for Robert Lowell's poem Lord Weary's Castle

Haddo's Delight I believe is named after the character in Maugham's the Magician.
