Paid too much for it, but I was buying the nostalgia, not the pipe. As a young man living in Maine, before LL Bean reinvented itself as a urban hipster's clothing boutique, I spent many hours browsing the high end fishing gear and drooling over the natural wood Old Town canoes that I would never be able to own. I remember the creaky wooden floors and the aroma of pipe smoke and the stories and advice the salesmen would offer as they puffed on something aromatic. I would dream of piloting one of those beautiful canoes around Moosehead Lake and catching trout with one of the hand made fly rods that were displayed there, before leaving with my purchase of Eagle Claw hooks and a bottle of mosquito repellent.
