Nice read! I've always enjoyed Van Gogh's paintings and was always drawn to the Impressionist gallery in any art museum I visited. I never considered Van Gogh a philosopher until I read this quote in the article. "In order to do good work you have to eat well, be well housed, have a screw from time to time, smoke your pipe and drink your coffee in peace.“ It seems he was an Epicurean!
@motie2 Unfortunately I don't think it will matter. IMHO, the powers that be (all parties) will not be happy until tobacco becomes only a memory in history...😔
Professor Morgenbesser’s Pipe—A Columbia Anecdote about Kant, 1921-2004.
“A familiar Columbia University legend: Sidney Morgenbesser (1921-2004), professor of philosophy, now emeritus, was smoking in the subway. A transit cop came up to Professor Morgenbesser and demanded that he put out his pipe. “What if everyone smoked?” the cop said, reprovingly. “Who are you—Kant?” the irritated professor asked, whereupon the policeman, misunderstanding “Kant” as something else, hauled Sidney Morgenbesser off to the precinct house.”
EXCERPT: << Apparently, PayPal is restricting accounts of Internet tobacco sellers across the country, and they have already closed the accounts of individuals that they discovered were selling tobacco and using PayPal for payments without prior approval. There is one major pipes and tobaccos website that I know of that, like me, did have prior approval but are also going through the same process of having to get approved again and also had their account restricted until they do so. >>
@motie2 I wish more "cigar" stores would take that article to heart. Even my local Tinder Box has IMHO a pitiful selection of pipes and a very limited supply of pipe tobacco blends...

Look for the hand painted film, "Loving Vincent."
