Bjarne,
If you were to keep your clay pipe in a small wooden box, padded, would
that help prevent breaking?

Dear Ann,
Thanks for this, i could have googled myself, but i hoped that somebody
knew about this.
Well then i could smoke a cigar then, when i get desperate.
Two expensive for me with all those ruined pipes.

I always have a problem when i smoke, because my clay pipe breaks

If this was true about cigarillos, perhaps i could use this in stead?
It was my understanding that cigars/cigarillos were developed in the very
late 18th or early 19th century, but I haven't seen exact documentation.
Just did a Google!, and cigars seem to have first been made in Spain
in the
early 18th century, and spread from there after the Peninsular Wars
(1808-1814). So it seems possible, but not likely, that the woman was
smoking them.
