Posted by aboutpipes on April 18, 2008

Here is Ol’ Judge Robbins in the “Horseless Carriage” Days (Popular Mechanics,  Jul, 1936)

O’ Judge Robbins in the “Horseless Carriage” Days
GENTLEMEN, MEET THE PRINCE OF PIPE TOBACCOS-PRINCE ALBERT

Introduce yourself to Prince Albert at our risk. As a tobacco fancier, notice how P. A.’s “crimp cut” makes for a cooler smoke. Enjoy steady pipe-smoking that doesn’t bite the tongue. See how evenly Prince Albert cakes in yourpipe. How mellow, fragrant, and comforting it is! Below is our man-to-man offer. P. A.’s grand “makin’s” too.

50 pipefuls of fragrant tobacco in every 2-oz. tin of Prince Albert

OUR OFFER TO PIPE SMOKERS

“You must be pleased”

Smoke 20 fragrant pipefuls of Prince Albert. If you don’t find it the mellowest, tastiest pipe tobacco you ever smoked, return the pocket tin with the rest of the tobacco in it to us at any time within a month from this date, and we will refund full purchase price, plus postage.

La trahison des images – René Magritte

Posted by aboutpipes on April 18, 2008

Here is another post, related to Art and pipe smoking.

Treachery of Images (La trahison des images ) great painting by René Magritte, which shows us that the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. Great piece of classic. And great prepared slideshow with more Magritte’s works.
