Another of the minor effects of the war on life in Britain concerns the smoker. Briar pipes are likel to be scarce. The root from which these pipes are made grows in France, Algeria and Corsica. Even the manufacture of the bowls has been confined very largely to France; though it has made a beginning in England.
A representative of a leading London pipe manufacturer tells me that stocks of both briar and bowls are ample at the moment, but when these are exhausted the briar pipe may become an expensive luxury for the Englishman, or possibly unobtainable. But of course there are other woods, notably cherry, suitable for pipes.
