Pipe Quotation Contest

[Tobias Lutz]

I was reorganizing my study and realized I have a few more tins open than I can reasonably keep up with right now, so...I figured I'd give some away

The contest is simple...post a quote about pipe smoking. For example, I wood-burned this one into my pipe rack: "A pipe is the fountain of contemplation."


I'll pick a winner and ship next weekend. You can enter one time, per day, so everyone has the chance to post 7 quotations before the cut-off next Saturday @ noon EST (4-25)

If you don't need more tobacco...enter anyway and I'll bomb whomever you choose if you are selected the winner!

Good luck

note: I don't really care who said it, so while you're free to attribute the quote to someone, quotes without attribution will not be docked during judging.

A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and a fool something to stick in his mouth.

That's the way it is,so put that in your pipe and smoke it !

Smoke your pipe and be silent; there's only wind and smoke in the world. ~Irish Proverb

[c.ortiz108]

“A pipe is the fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinks like a philosopher and acts like a Samaritan.” - Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (who is also the guy responsible for the opening, "It was a dark and stormy night....")

Nice contest - thanks, Tobias!

Happy Mortal! he who knows
Pleasure which a Pipe bestows;
Curling Eddies climb the Room,
Wafting round a mild Perfume.
