Daniel J. Grasse

Daniel J. Grasse lives in New Brunswick, Canada. After a long and rich civil career as an accountant, lawyer, and writer (and two degrees, one in Biology and one in Law), Daniel has retired to devote himself to his two hobbies: continuing his writing (he is the author of Hitler's Death: Munich 23/10/1954, and is preparing a book on the origins of the human race), and exploring the world of pipe smoking. A collector of antique tobacco tins, Daniel is also collecting pipes. He strongly believes that pipe smoking is a ritual adventure where fun, relaxation, and intellectual enhancement form a harmonious whole. In the photo above, Daniel is holding a beautiful Invicta Briar pipe, ready to be filled with his favourite tobacco, Peterson's Sherlock Holmes.
