Synopsis

Excerpt from The Gleaner: May 1943

Certain native tribes of Brazil smoke pipes with bowls so large as to hold whole handfuls of tobacco.

The briar root was accidently discovered as ideal for pipe bowls by a French pipe-maker who broke his Meerschaum while on a pil grimage to the birthplace Of Napoleon. A substitute pipe, made Of briar root by a local wood-carver, inspired the Frenchman to introduce this now famous root to the world of smokers.
