[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 265313, member: 2318"] Parts of this ritual are describe by Hermann Melville in Moby Dick. Ahab is a pipe smoker. One of the chapters is titled The Pipe. And Stubb, a mate, meticulously stuffs half a dozen pipes every morning to last through the day. When he's in a whale boat during the chase, he carries his pipe in his hat band. Given the date, I believe the pipes are clays, not briars. In the long detailed passages in which captured whales are cut up and the blubber boiled, creating an ungodly stink, the whalers protect their noses by breaking the stems of their clays. [/QUOTE]
