Pipe Smoking Pictures

thebadgerpiper · August 2016

I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can post our favorite pictures of pipe smokers past and present. Personally, I love looking up old photos of pipe smokers and seeing what pipes they enjoyed.

I'll start off with one of my personal favorites:

Great idea! Here is one of my personal favs-

Alfred Dunhill Jr. selling pipes on the street after his shop was destroyed by German bombing in 1942.

After the Dunhill shop was destroyed in the London air raids, Alfred Dunhill Jr. set up a table in front of the ruined building and continued to sell pipes

That's a great picture! I'm sure those poor Londoners appreciated some normalcy after the trauma they had to suffer through.

Here's another favorite of mine, Mr. Badger from The Wind in the Willows preparing his pipe.

Was just wondering which of these gentlemen is @pappyjoe? J/K

PappyJoe · August 2016

None of them. They are Navy not Coast Guardsmen. LOL

And, no, I'm not that old.

Do comics count? Steve Canyon was always depicted with a pipe. canyon

Great picture, shows a good Dad sharing with his Son. Pure Americana.

SLCarrico that is a great photo, Thanks

Here's a second favorite pic. It has a great old storybook feel to it. I imagine its a cold and rainy outside, and the old man is preparing to tell his granddaughter a fantastic whimsical evening story, in a magically smoky room.

@thebadgerpiper -- Hey, would this be you on YT?

thebadgerpiper · March 2017

@Motie2 While I have that picture on my computer, it's not me. There's one other BadgerPiper on IG, so I'm guessing that would be him. There's a few of us in the pipe world that sees camaraderie with badgers (including PappyBadger here), but I try to keep my name spelled and worded the same way to differentiate myself. I've contemplated adding or changing my moniker a bit, but I'm stubborn.

@thebadgerpiper -- Thank you for responding. In any event, I enjoy your contributions here in TPL.

@motie2 Thanks! I wish I posted more often, but sometimes I get busy. I at least try to post once a week. I enjoy seeing your contributions as well!

I'm friends with youtubers on IG, but YT is one of those places I've yet to get involved with. I contemplated starting a youtube channel, but I think my blog suites my style better. Youtube's a great resource, though, and was a huge help to me when I first got started. It's one thing to read about how to pack and light a pipe, and another to see someone do it, even on your computer.
