Notably, in 1745, when in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), Casanova met the renowned urban philosopher Josuff Ali, with whom he engaged in lengthy discussions about belief, atheism, women, and tobacco. In 1842, when Flaubert was 20 years old, he wrote to his friend Ernest Chevalier, “Moderate your ardor for science and always devote yourself to the pipe.” Josuf Ali’s description of pipe smoking is even more exquisite than Flaubert’s. It’s something I’m growing more and more religious about. Nothing on earth is worth the nerve that adorns it or the smoke that emanates from it. Illusions are different; it is true that it breaks, but it is replaced. He says to Chevalier the following year: Ah! Life would be parched without the pipe, colorless without the cigar, and unbearable without the quid. There are a few noteworthy quotes from John Updike’s Roger’s Version: The joys of smoking a pipe. The initial cheek-hollowing puffs, the dramatic way the match flame is drawn deep into the tobacco, leaps high in release, and is sucked deep again, the tapping, the poking, the twisting, the cleaning, the stuffing, and the lighting. Then came the powerful smoke clouds and the mouth-watering scent. Strangely, I find other males who smoke pipes to have prissy, stagy, pretentious, and irritating facial expressions and mannerisms. But the pipe has been my solace, my steeplejack’s grip, and my handhold on the sheer cliff of life ever since I gave up cigarettes as an unheeded warning to Esther a few years ago. However, Josuff Ali tells Casanova this: While tobacco perfection is undoubtedly vital for the enjoyment of smoking, it is not the primary factor because good tobacco simply provides sensual pleasure. True pleasures are those that have no effect on the senses at all, just on the soul. Isn’t it true that you only feel content when you’ve done something completely? When you realize that only ash is left, you are overjoyed. Your senses are undoubtedly not separated from these two, but I implore you to estimate the third, which is the primary one. It’s a pleasant pleasure for the sense of smell. Seeing the smoke is the main source of enjoyment when smoking. It must always come out of the corner of your mouth at just the appropriate times, never too frequently, so you can’t see it coming out of the pipe. It’s absolutely true that smoking is the primary pleasure, and you will never see a blind man taking pleasure in it. Try smoking by yourself at night in a dark room. After lighting your pipe, set it down for a bit. What you say is correct, but you will pardon me if I discover that some pleasures that appeal to my senses are more important than others that just appeal to my soul. This is what Casano tells him. Josuff responds: For forty years, I have shared your thoughts.

Simenon himself kept racks of pipes on the walls of his offices and smoked a variety of pipes, including Dunhills and Charatans. While residing in the United States, he developed a fondness for Granger tobacco, and at least one photograph shows a tin of Royal Yacht on his desk. In 1951, Simenon sent a letter regarding his pipes, which Tom Dunn of The Pipe Smoker’s Ephemeris reproduced. You may find a portion of it online at the Pipe Smoker’s Den forum (go to message number 53, which was posted by MLC). Simeon explains in that letter why he always has two pipes—one little and one huge—of the same brand and shape: My wife always presents me the same pipe in both the small and large sizes. The small one is for carrying around, and the large one is for the residence. Simenon discusses his predilection for Bruyere pipes in that same post, but it doesn’t stop me from occasionally smoking clay, wild cherry tree, and even corncob pipes. Despite the fact that all briar comes from North Africa and France, the English purchase the best stock and are currently the only ones who know how to make a pipe that is precisely balanced. Neither in France nor in the U.S. has a perfectly balanced pipe been as yet produced. For a long time, Dunhill was the best in the field. They now go in for women s handbags, painted neckties, etc., and pipes have been pushed into the background. I think that the best pipe, at present, is made by Charatan, in London.
