As a matter of fact her husband gave me quite a collection of used pipes after he had half his lower jaw removed due to cancer most likely caused by his pipe smoking. Got several years' use out of them after replacing the stems on some.

So--can you meet single women at a pipe smoking club? Well, if it happened once, it can happen again.
I wonder how long she would have lived not smoking? As kid we smoked grape vines and realized very quickly not smart thing to do.
