[QUOTE="Balisong, post: 597042, member: 3470"] As a high school student my TV production teacher found that I was a fledgling pipe smoker and suggested I stop in Peretti's for a tin of Mac Baren's Virginia No. 1, I was living in Malden, a bus and subway trip to Boston. I stopped in, was overwhelmed by the number of pipes on display, the bulk tobacco bar and the variety of tins stacked behind the register. I bought a tin of Virginia No. 1 and at the suggestion of the person behind the counter a tin of Symphony. I was an occasional customer there for years. Harvard Square in Cambridge had the best book and magazine stores imaginable and I spent many Saturday afternoons shopping there. That's were Leavitt & Pierce is, right next to the Harvard Coop near a folk café. I was unimpressed with the store, it had pipes and tobacco but they seamed to be second fiddle to game boards and college pastimes. I started a High School friend on pipe smoking, the first few times he came with me to Peretti's he was interested in buying the cigarettes he saw British Rockers smoking on TV. In college he made the transition to pipe smoking and he was the one who found Ehrlich's. [/QUOTE]
