I've been watching the old Match Game shows for nostalgia's sake, and have become interested in the various pipes Charles Nelson Reilly has smoked. So far:
1) One straight Dunhill billiard with a square shank and silver band.
2) A straight Charatan egg.
3) A straight Savinelli pot.
4) One obvious Stanwell brandy.
5) One Danish brandy with a horn ferrule.
I've seen him smoke Three Star Blue and Mick McQuaid Ready Rubbed. I'll post more as I see them.

Wow Jim, you have quite the eagle eye!
I always liked him as a kid... pretty zany in his antics in the Sid and Marty Kroft productions, and the Bic Banana commercial was over the top. 30 to 40 years later, hearing his quips on Hollywood squares...damn, did he really say that?

Just saw Charles smoking a slight bend Savinelli Estella with a acrylic ferrule. He had a good collection.

That guy used to scare me in HR Puff n'Stuff Lidville I read an interview with some of the production staff... they were definitely party animals, and lidsville was a double entendre. That episode is funny... Gladys Glamourpuss! |

When I spy pipe activity and shops in media, I hit pause and zoom in and try to identify pipes and tobacco. Often with older media, screen resolution can be frustrating, but Pete's and Dunhill's stand out (and Cobs).  |

It's a shame I can't ID any of Bernard Lee's pipes in the Bond movies. |

Either a Ben Wade or a Nording, I'd say.

Recently, I've seen Reilly smoke a Ben Wade sand blasted freehand, a Danish pipe of undetermined origin, and the last few episodes, a Charatan dublin.

He totally made Match Game. I love those old shows. It would be great to see somebody smoking a pipe on daytime TV.

Just saw Charles with a Borkum Riff pouch. I think it was the "Original Blend." Once saw him with a can of Three Star Blue.
