How about a thread where we post pictures of famous pipe smokers - with a pipe, of course. If you know what they smoked, that would be fun to have.
Here's Lord Bertrand Russell. His blend was Fribourg & Treyer Golden Mixture. I've got a tin of it waiting to be popped.

Do I remember reading that Lewis was a Capstan smoker? Or was the J.R.R. Tolkien?

@judandhispipe - If memory serves me, I believe Lewis smoked Gold Block and Three Nuns while Tolkien smoked Capstan Flake and Navy Flake.

That sounds right to me,too, @pappyjoe.
Donald "Duck" Dunn. Bass player - Booker T & the MGs. Dunno what he smoked,either.

President Gerald Ford. A Kaywoodie/Field & Stream guy. The owner of my local B&M sent him a Father's Day present ((IIRC) one year, and has the thank you letter he got on display.

@judandhispipe @pappyjoe - Lewis was an original Three Nuns, not this new version,

The Mangokids have always been glad to know that some of their favorite English authors and creators of mythical adventure all smoked pipes. We've mentioned Lewis and Tolkien, but also A.A. Milne, the creator of the 100 acre wood.

Walt Disney was a pipe smoker I don't know what he smoked but he loved to walk the park before opening hours and smoke his pipe. Also for Disney Walts partner and head arris for years Ub Iwerks was a long time pipe smoker.
