[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 175693, member: 1969"] I think it's more to the point that glass pipe shops are more popular than tobacco pipe shops, never mind the fact tobacco pipe shops might have been just as common some years back as these new "head shops" are now. Typically, though, you can tell what shops are which. If there's an abstract chaos of glass pipes with oh-so pretty bare fluorescent bulbs delicately illuminating them in the front window, huge "NEWPORT" cigarette signs in the window and six flashing "OPEN-OPEN-OPEN" signs, it usually is signal enough for any of us to walk away--or at least lower our expectations: there might be some dusty treasures in there, as s.ireland points out! Inasmuch as the common tobacconist may have turned into mini-mart peddler, the fishmonger has turned into a low-wage cellophane specialist in a huge supermarket and the cobbler has gone overseas to work in sweaty factories and involuntarily huffing glue. Ah, it's nice to be turning into a cynical curmudgeon. *puff* :D :lol: [/QUOTE]
