2 febbraio 2015

Pipe smoking, the reader learns, is instead of a troublesome addiction a pleasant way of life. Pipe smokers enjoy their chosen moment of tranquility and aromatic savour. Besides several illustrations from our vast collections, the article is dominated by a huge portrait of pipe smoking Benedict Goes. In short, a positive impulse for a historic and present-day ritual.
