Indulge me for a moment while I go off on a tangent about one of my favorite things. Most of you know that I love the pure high quality tobaccos that accompany pipe and cigar smoking. I can't help myself. It is not politically correct. But I still love it. And those who don't like it can kiss my ass. Ahem. But here is Blogonomicon's latest vintage pipe ad from 1932...enjoy:
