First: I've always wanted an Upshall. Damn you, Pete, for stoking the fire.

Second: I'll be darned if stories like this - THIS - aren't exactly why pipe smoking is such an incredible pursuit. It goes well beyond the simple ignition of tobacco, but in the end that act provides a tangible thread wrapped up in a simple, relaxing moment that men have been experiencing for a long time.

As always, thank you for sharing, Pete.
