Does that pipe have diagonal channel cuts?
It's a long story.

Thanks for posting, now I get it. It looks like I missed out with Tintin
The adventures of Tintin are great reads. These are just a sample

I'll keep my eyes open for them. I see they can be bought on Amazon too. Thanks.

Hope you give them a look see. If you do, look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I'm going to look around in some used bookshops but don't know when I'll get to them. Maybe I'll grab one from Amazon. Is there one I should start with?

No, not really. While there is some minor continuity you can jump in anywhere and bounce around. If you haunt flea markets, used book stores and tag sales, you'll find them, especially if you're not interested in the condition of the books and more interested in the material.

The search is half the fun for me. I just added a copy of Hemingway's "In Our Time" to my search list. Sure I could grab it online or at a book store, but what fun is that?

Richard Carleton Hacker, author of The Ultimate Pipe Book, interviewed the rotund detective. Conrad smoked Amphora Red. He preferred Charatan pipes and had one of the largest collections in existence. Besides his most memorable role as Canon he was also the voice of The Lone Ranger back in radio days.

I had a copy of Hacker's book once, beautiful pipes.

I believe that Jiminks from the old PSF owns one of Conrad's pipes.

Thanks Wildcat. I'll find some somewhere and let you know what I think; then I can be a nerd too :D
Since you mentioned Semois, have you had any of the Manil offerings and if so which one do you like? I've had only the Le Petit Robin but am thinking about trying one of the others (there's a new one out too).
