Pipe Smoking and the Life of the Mind

It has always seemed patently obvious to me that pipe smoking is not only the hobby of intelligent people, but actually contributes to people's intelligence. This interview of Bertrand Russell on Pipesmagazine.com supports that assertion.



PENNSYLVANIA MEERSCHAUM UPDATES:

So pipe number one burned out. Pipe number two looks great but doesn't hold much. Pipe number three burned out. Pipe number four, which I made yesterday, will be the test. First of all, I went to the market and bought a better, wider piece of corn. White corn, in fact, which I've been told is stronger than yellow. I'm much happier with the width of the bowl and made the length larger as well. Everything came out as desired. All that remains is to smoke it...a few times and see how she fares. Either way, I'm out of the business for awhile, but it has been a fun diversion. Meanwhile, I ordered a couple of more Morgans from Missouri Meerschaum, just to be safe.
