The salt slides through your finger tips as you complete the circle around the etched symbols and scattered herbs you’ve laid upon the ground. The room is dry and the smell of herbs and copper lays thick and heavy in the air. You step back, admiring the long hours put into your tool of incantation and wipe the sweat from your forehead.
Flipping through the heavy black book on the nearby table you find the page you were looking for and begin your chant. The world slips away and only the void remains, the spell of The Great Pipe Thief has taken hold.
With this great power at your fingertips you may pluck the pipe of any figure, living, dead, imaginary, or even perhaps someone from a dream.
The questions I posit for you Great Pipe Thief is this “Who’s pipe do you take, what does it look like, and why did you choose it?”

Sir Walter Raleighs last pipe. Probably a long stemmed clay, along with his pouch.
“ Having been one of the people to popularise tobacco smoking in England, he left a small tobacco pouch, found in his cell shortly after his execution. Engraved upon the pouch was a Latin inscription: Comes meus fuit in illo miserrimo tempore ("It was my companion at that most miserable time")
Why?
Serious street cred sporting that pipe.

The original Stanwell 124, the one that Sixten actually carved, that all others were then based on.

An Eaton cob fresh from the field that waits to be smoked with a burley by cobbsmoker.

I dunno. Something of Mark Twain's, maybe. I'd prefer having a smoke with him, though.

By many accounts Twain smoked some pretty acrid tobacco and was not one for pipe maintenance. Perhaps i’m a bit more prudish and weak of constitution than you my friend. |

Take another man's pipe? That's just not cricket. As my students would say, "Hard pass."

I don't know that I'd smoke it. It'd be just for looking at, probably while pondering The Awful German Language.

Take another man's pipe? That's just not cricket. As my students would say, "Hard pass." Probably for the best. It’s been said that the price of becoming The Great Pipe Thief is that the God of Smoke takes the thief’s most prized pipe as payment. A debt must always be repaid. |

Let us talk about Sitting Bull's pipe. A description: The intricate 3-foot-long pipe is inlaid with brass, its bowl carved from red pipestone, its wood stem carved with a fish cut in half, a setting sun and a bull's horns. Tobacco, well, unknown.

Any one of the many bent and straight billiards of Joseph Stalin.

I'd be happy with one of Bing's "Bing's". And I've got plenty of Everclear, salt and pipe cleaners to exorcise any ghosts.
