Reader Reviews
This is a great book for anyone who smokes a pipe. Rick Newcombe has some very definite ideas about pipes and he shares them with us in 24 great chapters. I find myself going back to the book and reading some chapters over and over again. Then there is the introduction and epilogue by Albert Mendez, both of which are outstanding. Don't miss this book - it is a Pipe Classic.
