Re: Famous Pipe Smokers
Here's an interesting one I just saw on ESPN+ Peyton's Places.
He was talking to Lance Alsworth and showed clips from a film of the Chargers back in the 60s. It was of Head Coach Sid Gillman lighting up his pipe on the field during practice. https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/af882dc7-e4cd-491b-8a2e-4489c79683a7#bucketId=43319

Re: Music
I know some of you aren't very big into Bluegrass, but my wife and I are huge Bluegrass fans. Here is a few from a band that we follow; the guitar player in particular is a fella by the name of Zeb Snyder...he's the best flat picker since Doc Watson in my opinion. He's from just down the road from where I live and have been following him since he was 11 and played with his sister (fiddle) and dad (stand-up bass) around here a lot and at big venues like Merlefest and such. (In the 3rd video notice Barry's hand.) Anyway, enjoy!

I trotted out a Pete “Outdoor” Natural 86 to stuff with a flake of the Newminster No.400 “Superior Navy Flake” this evening.
Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Oh, I almost forgot…I had one of my Pete Deluxe 53 Lovat’s loaded with some Newminster No.400 Superior Navy Flake. It was so tasty, I’m gonna load another bowl for my after dinner smoke. I just have to choose a pipe🙂

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
A little late to post, but last night was my brother’s annual Christmas Party. There were about 40-50 attendees. This is a picture of the one smokefest of the evening, cigars and odd man out (me) with a pipe (not in the pic, I was behind the camera). One of the guys I gifted a pipe and some tobacco samples to a few years ago is still occasionally picking it up and smoking when he needs to relax and think over problems🙂. His daughter gives him crap about what she “assumes” he is “really” smoking, so he doesn’t partake often, but he says he enjoys it. It’s a straight pipe, he thought a bent might be easier to smoke while using both hands. He is a diesel mechanic/auto mechanic. I may have to find him a bent, I’m sure I have an extra around here somewhere.
It wasn’t too bad outside for an hour plus, or so, with the fire pits and patio heater going. I think the temperature at that point was around 20F. Then the wind picked up and dropped in from the north around the end of my pipe bowl….good timing 🙂 …. The temperature dropped a bit and the wind chill was…...brisk. The temperature was about 10F at that point. One other fellow that was late to the smokefest decided to stop his cigar smoke mid vitola. He and I were the last holdouts and we both got the hell out of the cold🥶. Yes, there are a few that had freaking T-Shirts, shorts, light jackets. I must be getting old. I had a T-Shirt, a long sleeved sweatshirt and my medium weight hoodie….zipped up.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I know I'm late to this.
@opipeman In 1983 I was working in Seattle manufacturing specialized hoists (very large) that are used on sea based oil platforms, and the guy working nearest me in the facility, Pete, a veritable mountain of a man dipped Copenhagen.
What was unusual about Pete was he only got 2 dips out of a tin. He would literally start shaking after 5 to 10 minutes; I asked him one afternoon, why so much, he answered "I like the buzz", I'd guess he didn't make it to 50.
He offered and I tried a couple of times, holly crap it was strong, but I could not stand it getting in my teeth.
I prefer Red Man but only chewed when I was hunting.
