Is it possible that cigar smokers are more avid writers and readers — compared to pipe smokers — who believe that the more cigar books the better? It appears so by the extraordinary quantity of titles in so many languages. I have kept score through the years, and there are far too many books to list, but such a list would be of little interest to pipe smokers and pipe collectors. (BTW: there are at least five different English-language cigar magazines in circulation and just one for pipe smokers and collectors. Hint: It’s not The Pipe Smokers Journal offered on Amazon.) | Is it possible that cigar smokers are more avid writers and readers — compared to pipe smokers — who believe that the more cigar books the better?

In recent history, a few foreign-language pipe books have been released in English, and a couple English-language books have been published in foreign languages. This table lists only the authors, titles and the languages into which these books have been translated. Also included are titles penned by exophonic authors — writers of one nationality whose books have been published in a different language — which is an uncommon formula. Some books will be unfamiliar to those who do not read foreign languages, but their subject matter should be of interest to most pipe smokers. They are either (a) a history of tobacco pipes; (b) an illustrated survey of briar pipes and briar pipe makers; or (c) treatises on pipe smoking. No book on this list is solely about clay, meerschaum, porcelain | In recent history, a few foreign-language pipe books have been released in English, and a couple English-language books have been published in foreign languages.

No book on this list is solely about clay, meerschaum, porcelain, oriental, or ethnographic pipes. Hopefully, readers will find this article — exclusive to pipedia.org — elucidating and revelatory. | ||
