When two cultures first meet, an exchange inevitably occurs. Take the colonization of the New World. The natives introduced the colonists to tobacco; in turn, the colonists sneezed, giving the natives measles and smallpox. Out of this event, only the Europeans were able to market a new and exciting luxury product. This book by the Dunhill scion focuses on the pleasures of smoking, with much on pipes, cigars, ritual, etc. In addition to text, there are half-tone illustrations and line drawings.
