The Tobacconist
Feb 13th, 2008 by ShaunO
Being amongst the last of a dying breed – a smoker…
I started a little group on Flickr – The Tobacconist – which is gathering a some momentum…
Some of the Tobacconist’s shop-fronts I have seen over the years are the most pleasant, interesting, amusing, or just well presented… and from a photo in the group interesting shops are still about – this one selling tobacco by weight from jars still – with such fine names as “Kentucky Nougat, Fire Dance, Sherlock Holmes, Old Oak, Sweet Blarney, Troost, and Parsons Pleasure…”.
The world-wide communities which are possible via these technologies – like Flickr – even though I’ve been around the Internet for near on 15 years – are a constant, pleasant, surprise to me…
