WORKING BACKWARD

This post is for the obsessives, and will be of little or no interest to anyone else but pipe smokers. Even among them, only a small number.

I am working on updating the Index of pipe smoker essays ("Big Heap of Tobacco"), that helpfully lists and links the posts here on that subject since the beginning of time. Which I last updated in January of 2018.

It is a work in progress, going back.
