Kinnikinnick

If you want to go native American and give the campfire back its acrid smoke, puff for puff, put authentic Indian kinnikinnick in your peace pipe with or without tobacco. You can get it from almost any trading post, as did a friend of ours in Munich who belonged to the German Cowboy Club and, at the annual Oktoberfest, gave us our first whiff of this dried inner bark of dogwood mixed with dried sumac leaves. It is not nearly such a sweet smoke as corn silk and neither is it so rank as a length of whip stalk. Another Indian kinnikinnick has tender young dried willow bark mixed in.
