One of the world's oldest pipe-making mediums, meerschaum is prized for its flavor-neutral smoking properties, heat resistance, and ability to darken with warm tones of patina as it's smoked over time.

That's not to say it's entirely undeserved. Hoover made mistakes. ... Read More

Moby-Dick; (1851), the most famous tale of whaling and the high seas ever written, was a commercial disaster. Its author, Herman Melville, made about $1,200 from the 3,200 total copies sold in his lifetime.
