PIPE QUOTES:
""Pipe smoking is the most protracted of all forms of tobacco consumption. It may explain why pipe smokers are generally regarded as patient men and philosophers."
Jerome E. Brooks
The Mighty Leaf, Tobacco
Through the Centuries
"There is no composing draught like the draught through the tube of a pipe."
Captain Frederick
Marryat
"A pipe is to the troubled soul what caresses of a mother are for her suffering child."
"Pipe: a primary masculine symbol with authoritarian overtones but also indicative of reliability and contentment."
The Dictionary of Visual Language, 1980
Give a man a pipe he can smoke,Give a man a book he can read;And his home bright with a calm delight,Though the room be poor indeed.
James Thompson
I smoke a pipe abroad, becauseTo all cigars I much prefer it,And as I scorn your social laws,My choice has nothing to deter it.
Robert Lewis Stevenson
A PIPE OF TOBACCO
Little tube of mighty power,Charmer of an idle hour,Object of my warm desire,Lip of wax, and eye of fire;And thy snowy taper waist,With my finger gently braced;And thy pretty swelling crest,With my little stopper pressed,And the sweetest bliss of blisses,Breathing from their balmy kisses.Happy thrice and thrice again,Happiest he of happy men.Who when again the night returns,When again the taper burns;When again the cricket's are gay(Little cricket, full of play),Can afford his tube to feedWith the fragrant Indian weed;Pleasure for a nose divine,Incense of the god of wine.Happy thrice, and thrice againHappiest he of happy men.
Isaac Hawkins Browne (1736)
"The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with."
Marty Feldman quotes

I will start by thanking our Pipe Maker of the month, Steve Morrisette, for sharing his story and showing us his great pipes. If you missed his web page, please visit him at http://www.smpipes.com.
I would like to remind everyone our contest for the Rainer Barbi pipe is continuing through the month of May. Please visit Pipe Makers Emporium's web site for the details. www.pipemakers.org.
Well, it's that time of the year again, when everyone is busy getting ready for the Chicago Show. This is going to be a new adventure for me. I'm totally excited about meeting you there. I met some of our customers in Las Vegas last October, but I'm told more of you will come to Chicago. Please make sure we have the chance to meet. Most of you know Andrea; she will accompany me for this first show. I'm sure she will love to say "hi" to each of you. It is my first time to visit Chicago, so we are going to come early and spend some time touring the city. Andrea and her husband are celebrating their 6th anniversary, so they have some very special plans. We wish them many more happy years together.
Starting June 1st, we will have a contest for our "Novice" pipe makers. It will run through July, and will be a contest to create a "Straight Billiard". The pipes will be judged in August, and the winners will be announced then. Complete details on the rules and how to get started will be in my May newsletter and posted on the web site. We will have a first prize and each runner-up will also receive something special. So stay tuned for the details coming your way.
I wish to take a minute to thank all of you for the great comments on the forums about Pipe Makers Emporium. I also appreciate the referrals of new customers you send my way. It is my goal to keep growing PME and to give the best customer service possible. With your help, we have been able to bring some fun and exciting new things to our web site. I will strive to continue offering contests and giveaways, and keep PME a fun and wonderful experience for each of my customers in our pipe making family. I thank each of you for your support.
