Thanks Dudditz ! Very nice pipe in your Avatar ... an Extraordinaire ???
That is a print called Big Smoke Art by Eric Fan and there is a "B" logo on the pipe if anyone knows of a Pipe with a "B" logo (probably stands for Bison though.) Or it could be Barclay Made in London. But I imagine the artist was being creative. That print can be purchased on the internet. Pretty Cool.
Wow, very informative. Being from Idaho and the West, I just like the look of a buffalo smoking a pipe. I’ll have to look for the print.
I actually got to smoke a peace pipe with some Shoshone-Bannock Indians several years ago. It’s a great story, but a little long for a blog. They hold the Buffalo in high regard.
Did they smoke tobacco or some plant in the peace pipe? Some Indians used to smoke Mullein which acts as a bronchial dialator but you have to shave the fibers off the leaves and dry it. I tried it once and it does work ... really opens up the lungs ... but I do not recommend this ... I was an older teen at the time.
Mullein is a plant used to make medicine. Some people take mullein by mouth for breathing conditions such as cough or asthma, pneumonia, colds, and sore throat. But there is limited scientific research to support these and other uses. It is alos used in the manufacture of alcohol as a flavoring. The Indians discovered Mullein first !
Thanks Peter Turbo ! 63 degrees today and 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow night into Friday morning !! Connecticut pneumonia season ! Fortunately, Its only for another 2-3 weeks ! Best Wishes !
