I have always enjoyed the movies from the '30s, '40s, and '50s when pipe smoking was common in the movie. It wasn't always the main character, but one usually saw a pipe or two. Now, we rarely see people in real live enjoying a pipe, but someone is smoking them because the local tobacco shops, even those that specialize in cigarettes and vapes sell 7 or 8 pipe tobacco OTCs.

I thought the same thing when at my b&m. I rarely see pipe smokers, but the b&m has a regular footfall.
As for in the movies... It's more and more rare to see a pipe smoker. When I do I think, 'that's class'.

A recent peeve for me, is that modern takes on period pieces show no pipe smoking whatsoever, when it should be about 20% as a guesstimate.

I've seen movies based in Victorian times with scenes set in an English or Irish pub with not a single pipe to be seen. No clay. No briar. No cigars even. Not a puff of smoke in the air. |

I've been watching some trash movies just to pass the social distancing time. Saw a truly awful 'horror' film - Kingdom of the Spiders starring William Shatner.
Before he fell victim to the scary tarantulas, Woody Strode was codger dipping from a big tub of Carter Hall. I'm sure he died happy.

The TV series "Blue Book" is something we really enjoy. Several pipe smokers in it including the main scientist.

I think there is a ban on any kind of smoking in movies today. At least American movies. However if you look at foreign movies, German and Northern Europe, they smoke cigarettes like fiends. Kind of weird to see the difference. |
