patrons? In that spirit, we offer for your perusal various brands of pipeweed* which can

FOR BEGINNERS

Smoking "flake" tobaccos
Flake tobaccos and their kin must be prepared prior to smoking;
this process is known as "rubbing out" the tobacco. Read more. CLICK HERE
* Here at the Dancing Flame, we do not condone
smoking by minors, and we encourage adults to be moderate and responsible in their
enjoyment of a good pipe. Anything taken to excess can be more harmful than pleasurable. |
"Earthy damp leaves
plucked from jar, into trembling hands.
The feel of wood, softened by time, stirred with passion, sculpted with genius.
Strength and subtlety in one. Silk on lips, the damp earth of Virginia.
One delicate draw, the breeze of peace stirred the soul.
Flame danced languidly above perfect leaf, and then unrestrainedly and unabashedly leapt
into eternity.
One curl of smoke drifted lazily from the bowl, stimulating the nostrils.
Spontaneous combustion and superlative excitement in a single draw I stood for a moment in
the good earth, feeling warm rain on my upturned face and I knew- Knew the truth at last-
and was content, completely satiated, if only for an hour..."
