Wedding Bells and Pipes
Yesterday I was at my local tobacconist when a young couple happened in; their errand was to buy pipes for their wedding party and for the groom himself. They ended up with some truly spectacular specimens, six in total; by their appearance I would say $100–300 pipes. It turned out that none of the groomsmen—nor the groom—had smoked a pipe, so the clerk gave him some quick lessons. I hope that they all stick to it, for it’s a healthy hobby and one to be encouraged wherever possible.
And by the looks of those pipes, I wish I were one of his men…
