A slide show with photos from LIFE magazine, showing pipe smokers from all over the globe. A celebration to an old tradition that is in danger of disappearing.
@truckpipe Thank you sir! Well, it's been a while since I made these videos
but from what I remember, I choose to use b/w images as they corresponded
with the feeling I was trying to capture. The one color image that snuck in
there was an oversight on my part. I'm sure there are loads of pipe related
photos in colour in the LIFE Magazine collection... feel free to put
together a video of those if you like. Cheers, -Mike
If she is smoking for the love of tobacco, the feeling of contentment and
the occasional, more esoteric pursuit of realizing the connectedness to
earth, soul and cosmos. Then it's legitimate in my book. If it is merely a
fashionable gesture,as we think most women are wont to do, then yes. I
agree. But the same can be said for anyone.
Thank you, thank you thank you... As a Pipe and good Pipe tobacco lover,
this is my favorite video on Pipes and especially what it meant to love
this past time. My new greatest memories are spending time with my son Tim
with a good tobacco and maybe a pipe that I may have gifted him. I end
every day at work with this video!

I knew you'd like this one David. The reason I decided to take up the pipe
myself where photos like these. The 30's, 40's and 50's had so much style
it oozes out and swallows me whole. :-) Thanks for watching my friend. That
guy in 6:17 is said to be a Curler... didn't know that about you! :-p
Cheers, Mike
Thanks for a fantastic video Mike. The pictures contained all the pleasures
of pipe smoking, relaxed, happy, thoughtful and statesman like. I spotted a
Northern Ireland picture among them too. And how good of you to include The
Crow with his pipe, I am surprised he missed that! Cheers, Alan
Fantastic collage of images. All but one were black and white? Was this on
purpose? Were there no many color or more modern images? Not a criticism.
It is a wonderful relaxing video. Thank you for the time and effort it took
to put this together. Going to watch part 2 now.
Thank you Simon! Yes, judging from these photos the straight pipe models
where VERY dominant. Hard to say if these photos reflect the true situation
though... as with most of us, these people probably had a collection of
various shapes. Cheers, Mike
Cool vid. It was interesting to see a lot of these folk smoking a pipe.
Among others, I didn't know that Gregory Peck nor Leslie Howard smoked a
pipe. Makes sense though. Classy gents. Oh, and I didn't know Ingmar
Bergman smoked a pipe. Too cool.
@FlyntStormhammer Thanks. Well, the music info was there on the main page:
Artist: Kevin Kendle "Sunlight - (Part 1)". ;) But in all honesty - I used
an AudioSwap track and had no idea myself what it was. :) Thanks for
watching and commenting.
I don't know, but I suspect that those elegant, well proportioned pipes are
a bit harder to make well. A carver would have to spend more time on making
each pipe and thus having to charge more for it. My 2c anyway. Thanks for
watching! -Mike
Thank you for watching Kel! Where I live the straight billiard has always
been the most popular shape (followed by the bent billiard), but when I
think about the 1950's in general, I DO see a straight billiard in my mind.
Cheers, -Mike
The smell of my grandpa's pipe is one of my earliest childhood memories. I
always feel like I'm communing with him whenever I light my own pipe. I
even made a little rack where I keep his pipe and mine next to each other.
Thank you very much Alan! I'm glad you liked it. I was also a bit surprised
that no one commented about the Crow-photo until now.... oh well, there
where a few photos in there and one has to blink sometimes. :-) Best, Mike

Pipe Smoking - Putting My Foot Down, Smoking Indoors!!
Many of us have wives who won't allow pipe smoking in the house. Well gosh darnit, I've HAD IT! I had to put my foot down and show everyone who is BOSS in ...
Dude, you fuckin rock! Love all your vids, but this one has got to be your
funniest. Thanks for spending the time and energy required to create +
share all your great vids. You're inspiring and uplifting in a multitude of
ways, probably more than you even realize. Thanks again, man...peace.
Bro...I got an idea....Next time she steps out and you get the chance to
smoke a pipe in the house, set up a hidden camera so you get her reaction
for all of us to see on Youtube. LOL!!!!!
Cheers from Canada.
I know exactly how you feel man! I love smoking in my living room binge
watching something on netflix. Unfortunately it is something I only get to
do when my 1 year old baby and wife is out of town.
