They fined him the equivalent of 222 British pounds? Not oy, OW!
Did you read the last paragraph?
"Gordon Brown was quick to throw his weight behind international
condemnation of the affair: "We have asked for more information about
the situation and we will keep this matter under review," he said,
echoing his exact words with regard to the Chinese authorities
slaughtering 100 Tibetans in Lhasa."
That's a joke, right? Tobacco nannies usually *do* resort to ridiculous
overstatement, but one never knows... ;-)

SNAP!
That's what the article in The Chap claimed. The same story in the
Times (London) pegged it at about 64 pounds sterling. More reasonable
as a wrist-slapping measure goes, but not a drop in ye olde royal
bucket, neither.
In any event, it did my heart good to see a head of state
unrepentantly puffing on his Pete.

Concur on "My kind of Premier."
But I do not think it is a Peterson. Probably by a local
pipemaker. The army mount has flats and the stummel
appears to be flattened on the left side. I do not think
that is just the effect of light reflecting off the briar.
Add to that the sharp bend back toward the smoker of the
bowl center top front, for supporting evidence.
Cheers!

Peterson pipes. For the thinking man.
