Pipe and Pouch: The Smoker's Own Book of Poetry is a collection of poems compiled and edited by Joseph Knight and originally published in 1894. The book is dedicated to all smokers and lovers of tobacco, with the aim of celebrating the pleasures and rituals of smoking through verse. The poems cover a range of subjects related to smoking, including the history and culture of tobacco, the joys of smoking alone or with friends, and the deeper philosophical and spiritual aspects of the habit. Some of the most famous poets of the time are featured in the collection, including Robert Burns, Lord Byron, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as lesser-known writers and anonymous contributors. The book is illustrated with charming black and white drawings that capture the spirit of the poems and the world of smoking in the late 19th century. Overall, Pipe and Pouch is a delightful and nostalgic tribute to the art of smoking and the power of poetry to capture the essence of human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
