I think I am going to grab a Missouri Meerschaum at your suggestion, Anthony. I'm going for the Gen. MacArthur model. It just screams, HILLBILLY!
Also, it goes great with my Hillbilly Farmer Halloween costume I am putting together. (Great costume idea--gives me an excuse to buy my first pair of overalls, a new flannel shirt, and a pipe!)
Just ordered the crazy hillbilly pipe with a 2 oz. tin of G.L. Pease Key Largo to start. It remains to be seen whether or not the pipe thing sticks or is just part of the costume...
My greatest fear is that sometime this Winter I am going to decide I want to smoke the pipe a little, but it's cold so I put on the flannel shirt that was part of the Hillbilly Farmer Halloween costume. Also, I can't wear shorts, but I want to be comfortable, so I put the overalls that were part of the costume...
So there I am barefoot on my porch smoking a corncob pipe when a mother walks by--her little kid looking up, asking, "Mommy, is that a redneck?"
"No, sweetie, a redneck smokes cigarettes. THAT'S a Hillbilly."
I might as well get a banjo and learn to whittle.
