  1. My Dad used to use Old Chum in his home made “roll your own ” smokes, using Sweet Caps rolling papers. This was post WW2. A nice aromatic pipe tobacco. He kept the tobacco in a oil skin pouch, with a slice of apple in it, to keep it moist. When I smoked a pipe in the 70’s, my choice was Ennismore from Ireland. Nice and fragrant and shag cut. JimB.

  2. Men’s magazines have been around longer than you’d think. The Gentleman’s Magazine is often considered the first modern magazine. It was published by Edward Cave in London from 1731. By the late 19th and early 20th, they were still mostly newsy and informative, but by then there were risqué stories and poems as well.
