Flickr: Those Swell Smoking Men
OK, so let me just be slightly politically correct and say that I do not encourage anyone to smoke ...but nor do think that we should hide the fact (see previous post) that many men used to smoked pipe in the old days. Smoking pipe was an important symbol of maturity, manliness, distinction, class, wealth, reliability etc.
