The Churchwarden

I think my first exposure to other Christian pipe smokers was a fellow named Perry Fuller, who managed a newsletter – both online and off, as I understand it, called “The Churchwarden.” This newsletter contained reviews of various tobacco blends, commentary on fly fishing, musings on the peacefulness of a pipe, and deeper theological reflections.

Right away I was hooked, and I began reading his site, and subscribing to his email newsletter.

That was back in about 2002, or 2003 I think.

Recently, when creating this HolySmokers.club presence, I did a search for articles on “pipes and theology,” and his old Geocities website was returned near the top of the results! I couldn’t believe it!

I reached out to him, and asked him if he’d consider being an occasional contributor here, and he agreed. Watch for his articles in the near future!

Welcome, Perry! God bless you, brother.
