YEAH :cheers: Anouar El - Sadat former president of Egypt till 1981 when he was assasinated.

Thomas Crean it is. Took some balls walking barefoot over the Antarctic ice shelf hauling along a wounded comrad. Medalist for sure. An pipeman to boot!

 

[BigCasino]

born in '68 can remember the name who he was and his assassination but I couldn't have picked him out from a mug shot

 

[Kashmir]

OK. Another one.

He is generally regarded as the pre-eminent cellist of the first half of the 20th century, and one of the greatest cellists of all time. He made many recordings throughout his career, of solo, chamber, and orchestral music, also as conductor, but he is perhaps best remembered for the recordings of the Bach Cello Suites he made from 1936 to 1939.

This man died at age 96! Said he smoked a pipe since he,was 14.

Come to think of it, you were probably one of Herman Lane's first customers - and the one who talked him into carrying Charatan Pipes in his shop. 8)

Ya Old Fart!

 

[Buckshot]

JRR Tolkien...look at the images in his smoke rings.

 

[Kashmir]

Yep. Spelled out fer sure!

OK. This one'll be harder. Hint: He's Swiss. Lived till 86 yrs. & smoked a pipe like the Devil himself!

 

[Buckshot]

It sure looks like Carl Jung to me.

 

[Kashmir]

Arrgh .... You guys are killin me. So it is.

 

[Kashmir]

OK. How bout this gentleman? His framed image should grace every pipe den.

 

[Trifecta13]

Well, not exactly. See in my man cave / garage or cold smokin den I'm surrounded by some dozens of famous pipe smokers. When I pipe I like to look over them, read their biographies, and late at night I've even been known to have extended conversations with them. The dead make for fine company.

Wow. There is one face there that I immediately recognized to be sure. As you can probably discern from my avatar, I am more than just slightly enamored with Mr. Steinbeck. During the course of my undergraduate and graduate studies in English lit, we've become quite well acquainted, though I had never seen a photo of him with his pipe. It would seem you can know a gentleman by the plumes rising from his briar. Thanks for sharing these.

 

[Kashmir]

Thanks trifecta. I have this gallery in my garage. I've had soccer moms and plumbers stagger into my garage an stare slack jawed at all these noble figures united only by the pipe. If they're interested I hand out cobs an PA at the end of the tour. LOL.

 

[Slide]

Alfred Dunhill

 

[Kashmir]

Yep. I just love that photo. The man himself!
Boy, these are too easy. Then again, if they're too hard the thread dies prematurely. Hmmmm. OK, let's try this one. Think Adventure.

 

[monbla256]

Not sure on the last one but here's one EVERYONE should know :

 

[Kashmir]

William Faulkner. That's an easy one!.
For the one above think crystal skull.
Think Harrison Ford.
