Both the music and pictures are classics its sad that so many people can not enjoy the pipe like we do but recently the pipe has been making a comeback I personally have converted a cigarette smoker or two to the pipe and they are making good progress. Pipe smoking always will be for real men a awesome tradition I am glad to be a part of.
One advantage of the modern era is that we can now save and share these treasures forever. Thanks for the work you put into these Mike and for sharing them with us. Cheers, Alan
Nice video. It is nice to see great pics of the pipers that enjoyed our hobby before us...I have to say there is a grand air of sophistication about these fellows. Great post!
Another GREAT VIDEO Mike !!! There we are ... either now or in a few years ! I love these compilation pipe picture videos ! They are perfect reminders of a bygone era and maybe a future . God bless you Mike . Michael
gave up my pipe 2 1/2 years ago.started vaping.diagnosed with terminal lung cancer last june.started pipe smoking again,it helps get me through the day,and how i enjoy it.i just dont inhale
Thanks Mark, You should see the whole series of those Cadillac pictures - That car was fitted with everything from a stove to a washing machine. :) Cheers, Mike
Thank you Tim! I have to admit I don't know who half of these gentlemen are. I have not picked them for any political or ideological reasons. For all intent and purpose, they are in this video because they smoked a pipe... and looked damn good while doing it! :-) Cheers mate, Mike
Ha! I can actually tell you who one of these people is, looks like my studies are good for at least one thing haha. At 27 seconds that is Dr. Robert Oppenheimer best known for his role as the director of the Manhattan Project and later the Trinity Project at Los Alamos. He had a remarkably interesting life, though he definitely hated and was shamed by most of what he had helped to create after all he was considered the "father of the atomic bomb". ~Slainte Rob
@Flieger671 Clem as he was known beat Churchill in the election of '45 and did so much for working people in the UK.. I am an unrepentant Socialist and it makes me glad to see that so many people with my politics also happened to smoke a pipe.. sadly also those who don't also ;-) Tim
Thank you Alan! I reccomend everyone with a taste for photos like these to check out life(dot)com... or better still Go to Google images and search *keyword* source:life. You'll be surprised of how many amazing photos you might find. Cheers, Mike
