It's amazing how common and accepted pipe smoking used to be.

I had 2 Grandfathers......only respected one, but both smoked pipes. The grandfather I was very close too, his 2 brothers and his father, my great grandfather smoked a pipe. Now, I’m the only one left, other than my son that smokes a pipe a few times a year. He still has a good selection of pipes and tobacco’s I gave him. He enjoys cigars much more.

Any Sherlock Holmes movie. I have a set on dvd with some of the movies made in the 1930s. All show Holmes with a variety of pipes.
Also, many Lee Van Cleef movies. I believe he smoked Philosopher blend from Tinder Box.

The Quiet Man. My wife and I really enjoy this movie and we’ve watched it many times. Even though the film is set in Ireland and shows numerous scenes with men smoking their pipes, there’s not one scene that shows anyone smoking with pipe turned upside down. Makes me wonder if this is just a myth. I don’t know why the Irish pipe smokers are often depicted smoking there pipes with the bowl turned toward their feet. Anyone able to elaborate on this?

Any Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movie. Also, I am the Law starring EGR, and Here Comes the Groom with Der Bingle. All the Sherlock Holmes movies hit the top of the list for me. Can’t believe how many Sherlock Holmes there have been over the years. And all those pipes and smoke filled 221B Baker Street scenes. Give me feelings of nostalgia. |

I'm watching The Fellowship of the Ring at the moment. Lots of churchwardens being smoked. I can't help thinking that if this had been made a few years later there'd have been no smoking allowed 😉

Checkout Whisky Galore (1949). Great scene where the local doctor gives his pipe to an elderly, bedridden patient, after learning that the patient broke his. Those were the days. You won't catch any doctors doing that now.

AJ It wasn't just in Ireland that pipers practiced this. It was practiced in countries that get a lot of rain. Smoking an upside down pipe helped prevent falling rain from getting into the chamber while smoking. I seem to recall references to this in books (fiction and non-fiction) and film. It's also seen in period paintings and old photos. |

I can't help thinking that if this had been made a few years later there'd have been no smoking allowed 😉 That was actually almost true. I remember when Fellowship was being filmed, there was a pretty serious effort by antismokers to ban smoking from the LOTR movies. In the end Peter Jackson basically said "F you guys, the Hobbits keep their pipes." |

In the old classic chick flick "I Know Where I'm Going", Roger Livesay smokes his pipe up side down. The movie takes place in the Hebrides if I recall correctly. Oh and the pipe maneuver takes place in a gale .

Slomo, thanks for that movie title. I remember seeing it many years ago but forgot the name of the flick. I watched that scene and was mesmerized by how someone could do that.
