Holy Smoke Quotes

“But remember, Friday or Crusoe, when you smoke a pipe you are not smoking only tobacco. With each pipe you smoke: anise, honey, bergamot, boit de rose, cascarilla, cassia, cinnamon, cardamon, gentian root, geranium, menthol, nutmeg, peppermint, rosemary, sandalwood, vanilla, valerian -- and sage, which gives the smoker the allure of an old wise man. All of the above are added as perfumes and oils and blended with the tobacco. No wonder the smoke of a pipe smells like the rainbow.”
