PIPE QUOTES:
"(Tobacco is) a companion in solitude; it is a storehouse for reflection and gives time for the fumes of wrath to disperse."
Japanese author
"If you can't sent money, send tobacco."
-George Washington to the Continental Congress, 1776 PIPE POETRY
INVOCATION TO TOBACCO
Weed of the strange flower, weed of the earth,
Killer of dullness, parent of mirth,
Come in the sad hour, come in the gay,
Appear in the night, or in the day,
Still thou art welcome as June's blooming rose,
Joy of the palate, delight of the nose!
Weed of the green field, weed of the wild,
Fostered in freedom, America's child,
Come in Virginia, come in Havana;
Friend of the universe, sweeter than manna,
Still thou art welcome, rich, fragrant, and ripe,
Pride of the tube-case, delight of the pipe!
Henry James Mellen

Hi Everyone, 
I was trying to think of something special about February. After some research, here are a few things I found interesting. There were a lot of famous and powerful people born in February. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan. I guess that is why we celebrate Presidents Day on the 15th. Also, many talented people like Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, James Dean, Clark Gabel and Elizabeth Taylor. Some of my favorites included George Harrison, Erma Bombeck, my inspiration and none other than Alice Cooper, who I went to high school with. Even I will be tucking one more year under my belt in February.
Another special day in February is the 14th Valentine's Day. A day for remembering that one special person in your life. Here is a link that tells more about how the tradition started http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day
Valentine's Day makes me think of love and romance. This also reminded me of a special pipe made by Kim Kendall. So if you don't send flowers or buy candy, maybe make that special lady a special pipe.. It would be a wonderful, sentimental gift. You have 2 weeks guys, you better get started...
This pipe is available at: http://www.penguinbriar.com
February is also known for the following:
February is American Heart Month
February is American History Month
February is Black History Month
February is Children's Dental Health Month
February is International Friendship Month
February is National Cherry Month
February is National Embroidery Month February is National Grapefruit Month February is National Snack Food Month February is National Wild Bird Feeding Month February is Responsible Pet Owners' Month
Who comes up with this stuff? Bird Feeding?
