If we're honest, those we now consider "famous pipesmokers" did not gain notoriety because of their pipesmoking. They earned acclaim through their writings, or movies, or philosophy, or creative genius, and it just so happened they also smoked a pipe. ... Read More

Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens' pseudonym, is possibly the most recognizable pen name in literature, and the man himself is an irresistible historical figure for pipe enthusiasts, not only because he was instrumental in shaping an authentic American literary voice, but because he evidently smoked more than any other human being. ...
