Reseñas
A fantastically delightful ode to smoking
Kenneth Hallenius
Filled with smile-inducing moments, this set of humorous reflections on the joys of smoking pipe tobacco is a wonderful companion to a bowl of smoldering leaf. Would that Barrie’s beloved Arcadia Mixture was still available to modern-day smokers!
