only because I know what to look for in selecting a pipe. The filter method of the Frank Medico is superlative, but the bowls are often mediocre. If you go into a private pipe store and frankly confess you know nothing of pipes but would like a good "second" at around $2.50, the proprieter will be only too glad to help you get started. Ask for a good non-aromatic brand of tobacco, get a pouch to keep it in, and a three-way pipe tool with tamper, reamer, and clearing prong. These sell for 15¢ and the proprieter will show you its function. Mayhap with this equipment you can learn to smoke and appreciate the endless delight of the fine quality tobaccos. Later on pipe culture will lure you farther. You will come to choose between half-bents, half-bent buldogs, apples, full-hools, wedgies, stovers, and other types. . .between Algerian briar, knotwood, meerchaum centers, goedewagen clay, or black briar. . between rough and shave cut. . between Turkish, Virginia, Egyptian, oriental, or Kentucky tobaccos, not to mention fuming agents previously named. After about a year you'll light up your pipe with one match, it will stay lit, it won't drown you with juices, and you can read the paper with that grand feeling that only an experienced pipe smoker appreciates ---------------------- THE DARK ROOM Where little gusts of blackness swirl past high-pitched, airly laughter, and turgid shapes supinely curl round veil of alabaster. To view with vapid, be-filmed eyes a silent screaming creature whose writhings mirror mild surprise on every formless feature. --George Ebey
