About this listen

Stories of pipe smoking's greatest craftspeople intertwine with advice and commentary in these essays on the art of pipe smoking. While exploring pipe craftsmanship worldwide, this audiobook combines tales of the author's visits to Europe's most prestigious pipe makers with a look at pipe smoking's history and the hobby's most famous practitioners, including Albert Einstein, Norman Rockwell, and Mark Twain.

Interviews with Old World craftspeople provide insight into the delicate and personal craft of pipe making, and a treatise on pipe smoking's relaxing benefits intermingles with advice on how to smoke, buy, break in, clean, and use a pipe to cope with the frantic pace of the 21st century.

Book was a great look at some of the best independent pipe makers in the world. The added interwievs with writers son don't add much and tend to just paraphrase what the author has written. It is scary to see how totalitarian the world has become concerning tobacco.

Nice book about some of the best pipe makers

The intro was good then I couldn’t actually get to the content for opinion pieces and whining from people with massively irritating accents.
