[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 554014, member: 4458"] "Things that get sniffed" - sure to be a memorable BoB quote! The vivid picture you describe started a cascade of thoughts and memories . . . My first ever encounter with a pipe was when my scout troop went over to the scout master's home to talk about hobbies and collecting. As we were admiring the collection of silver dollars the scout master lit up a pipe. None of the other boys paid any attention but I immediately exclaimed "That smells like fresh baked cookies!!" He grunted dismissively at the Susie Home Baker association, and probably didn't want to encourage too much a young lad with the idea of smoking. When my dad picked me up and asked about the meeting I exclaimed again with excitement "Mr. Adams smokes a pipe!" My dad, who had given up smoking when I was a baby in the house, just nodded approvingly and said "A lot of smart and famous people smoke a pipe." So from the very beginning, the aroma of pipe tobacco has been a huge attraction for me, while cigarettes or cigars were never a big attraction. I guess some people are just drawn to it, others, like the other boys in the troop, are not drawn to it. [/QUOTE]
