Prairie is an Architectural Style. Influenced Art Deco, sure, but it's still Deco. Prairie focused on the horizon that lamp is tall with tall, vertical lines.... Deco... But thanks for the refresher.
Art Deco is an international decorative style that originated in France and was popular from 1919 to 1939. It's characterized by a combination of modern aesthetics, fine craftsmanship, and expensive materials. Some of the key features of Art Deco include:
Geometric forms
Art Deco is known for its use of stylized geometric forms, such as zigzags, chevrons, squares within squares, and diamonds.
Linear appearance
Art Deco has a sharp-edged, linear appearance with smooth wall surfaces.
New materials
Art Deco incorporates new materials and technologies, such as reinforced concrete, glass block, chrome, vitrolite, stainless steel, and neon signage.
Contrasting colors
Art Deco often uses contrasting colors, such as emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, black against gold, or dark gray.

That's also know as a Mission Style Lamp
American Stylization of Deco is pretty exaggerated. We see this in a lot of early sky scrapers. Also, the internet seems to confuse Art Nouveau with Deco all the time..... Maddening!! I found a lamp just like that at a yard sale and she told be it was an Antique Tiffany Lamp..... didn't have the heart to show her the tag on the bottom that said "Made for Target"
Il Duca Rhodesian and some new tobacco. The Sillem's and the Alexanders Bridge I just needed more, the rest are new to me. Looking forward to the Haunted Bookshop, because several folks here have recommended it. Also I'm looking forward to the Exhausted Rooster, because what a cool name!

Yeah, I definitely didn't need it, but it just looked too nice to pass up. Why was I looking at pipes? Evidently I'm insane.

Let them sit in the shipping box overnite to come to temperature from the mid 20s at delivery. Does anyone else do this or am I just wasting my time?
Includes what is billed as the world strongest cigar made by HVC. Guess we will see in a few months when it warms up, 7 am and 11 degrees right now…. : 0

… sorry
Maybe I should take up smoking a pipe
It's a sign.
Tried a pipe once. Guy on third shift used to be outside smoking cherry or chocolate tobaccos real early when there was no wind. Incredible smell. When I got a pipe and tried, no smell. Really bummed.

Once? That's not how you learn. There's more to it than pack and puff.
It took all of us a while to learn it. Well, except maybe Silvermouse and Stubble, natural born talent and all. There are threads here in the pipe section that will help you immensely should you choose to pursue the dark path.
A couple things to keep in mind: once you've mastered it you can smoke all week for the price of a good cigar, but it's not the same as a cigar. Each has its own benefits. You'll get a little less flak from the family about the aroma, as a general rule.
Give it some thought, let us know. I'm sure there are one or two fellows around here who will help you find your way.

Well I am cheap and my wife hates pretty much everything associated with the smell of lit cigars.
I need another hobby like I need a hole in the head BUT if I were to try a pipe, without going crazy, what would a "starter" kit consist of? I imagine a drug store Corn Cob and some Borkum Riff is as frowned upon as White Owls and Old Dutch Masters cigars.
So, your wife is some kind of Genie? Or a magician of some sort? Able to make unicorns appear at will?

@Amos_Umwhat my local b&m gets many ‘unicorns’ in both tobacco and cigars. He sells everything at retail prices. I’ve seen what the prices these things go for on different auction sites so I feel pretty daggum good about the price I paid for these.

Contrary actually. I thought the same about corn cob pipes, but they smoke incredibly well and their price you just can’t beat. I would try anything and everything until you find the stuff that you like.

Got this in yesterday. A big thank you to Dave @d_blades for forwarding this.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
Four hour fight for that little bag.

Finally received my Mac Baren order of Bold Kentucky, Old Dark Fired, and Golden Extra. I ordered 2 ODF tins but they only had one left for me.
Looks like Chris is low on pipes.
