Excerpt from At Long and Short Range There is a fashion in pipes as well as in bonnets. There are men who take unalloyed pleasure in a corn-cob bowl with an Indian-reed or bamboo stem, who would feel a sense of moral degradation in smoking the ordinary German china bowl, and a sense of foppery in the meerschaum. There is no arguing about such matters. It belongs to a certain subtle line of thought and conduct which fairly marks one's individuality, and you might as well try and make the corn-cob smoker wear a conspicuous diamond breastpin as alter his foibles in the affair of a pipe.
