| Great List! And useful, too.
I would add, as a recomendation, All About Tobacco, by Milton M Sherman, 1979.
He was a very knowledgeable tobacco importer and blender; it's a very authoritative book, which I bought at the old Wilke's on Madison Ave.
By the way, I love your icon. Some great looking pipes. |

Thank you for a book that I have not even heard of to this point but will find it for sure. And I would like to thank you for the kind words about my pipes I made them all as a nice little past time. Looking forward to another great read.
Best Regards

surprised you haven't run across this, "All About Tobacco", but if you have any problem locating a copy it is posted on line in one of the tobacco literature collections, in its entirety. Only problem with the on-line copy is the typed version of the text is full of typos, but you can quickly refer back to the photo version to figure it out.
