Came across these videos on YouTube by Muttnchop Piper. May not be totally accurate (as he states), but nonetheless quite interesting. Even some of the comments from the viewers are quite interesting.

He could take the time to research the tobacco on tobaccoreviews.com. Then he could tell us about Revelation for example.

He's wrong about Gerald Ford. Ford, according to his official biographer Thomas DeFrank, smoked Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. You can check it on page 11 here: www.amazon.com/Write-When-Gone-Off-Record/dp/0425223485#reader_0425223485Bing Crosby smoked Hayward Mixture, and there's a photo of him in his bio to prove it. I never believed the story that he smoked Crooner. Crooner is tough to light up, and in any scene where Crosby lights up, he gets the char light very quickly and puffs away. Hard to do that with a cube cut blend like Crooner. Basil Rathbone did not portray Sherlock Holmes in movies in the 1950s. He did in the late '30s and through much of the 1940s. Hefner smoked Mixture #79 is public, but his second in command told me that Hefner mostly smoked Sail Yellow. Edward G. Robinson also smoked Dunhill blends. Greenfield and Winther originally produced EGR. The guy didn't do his home work well. I think the Bogart story is crap, too. |

I tried to watch both videos he made on famous pipe smokers but I got irritated hearing him keep saying how hard the information is to find. |

Charles Bronson enjoyed Balkan blends for the most part. Never liked aromatics until he got much older.

Maybe with an Amstel beer or a dry martini, talking college football with the interns, whenever he could find the time. |

It does make one wonder how they can think and smoke at the same time, unless they are thinking about what they are smoking, lol. |

His research in this area may be lacking but the man does know a thing or two about pipe smoking. He tries to present information to new pipe smokers in a good way in hopes of keeping this good thing alive.

Maybe, but if you only know a thing or two you should at least do some better research before recording the video for youtube. |

Funny I just got the SP 15% off on Kramer's blends.
Kramer's: Blend for Cary Grant
Kramer's created this medium-bodied mixture especially for one of their customers, the iconic actor Cary Grant. Using our English Blend as a base, they carefully layer in a small portion of Irish Aromatic for a little more sweetness.
Kramer's: Blend for Danny Kaye 50g
Danny Kaye was a regular at Kramer's Beverly Hills shop, and they created this blend, a variation of New Mix, especially for this great entertainer. A little Perique and a good deal of Latakia are mixed with a touch of Irish Aromatic tobacco for an enjoyable, all day smoke.
Kramer's: English Blend 50g
A clean, crisp, cool smoke with just a hint of natural sweetness, Kramer's English Blend was a favorite tobacco of Leonard Nimoy, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, and Richard M. Sherman.
Kramer's: Extra Smooth 50g
Kramer's Extra Smooth, a special, balanced combination of Cavendishes and Virginia tobaccos, is ideal for a gentle, smooth smoke — and has been enjoyed by Corey Allen, Jesse Lasky, Jr. and Aaron Spelling, to name a few.Kramer's: Father Dempsey 50g
Though originally blended to match Father Dempsey's own preferred smoke, this full-bodied English mixture is now Kramer's most popular house blend and has been enjoyed by the likes of Cecil B. DeMille, Henry Wilcoxon, Samuel Goldwyn, Gene Barry, Mike Kaplan, Mel Tolkin, Fred McMurray, and many others.
Kramer's: House Aromatic 50g
Mellow, smooth, and topped off with an Irish Aromatic tobacco, Kramer's Burley-based House Aromatic has been a preferred blend of Pat Boone, Patrick Boyriven, James Brolin, Dick Gautier, James Komack, Andrew J. Fenady, Hugh O'Brian, and many others.
Kramer's: New Mix 50g
Product Number: 003-772-0002
Kramer's New Mix blend offers a rich, complex flavor — perfect for those who prefer their pipe tobacco full, naturally sweet, with spicy highlights. Among those who loved this mixture were James Arness, Buddy Ebsen, Normal Fell, Bernard Fox, Cy Howard, and Leonard Kaufman.

I posted this thread hoping to stimulate some interest in the subject of Famous People and What They Smoke(d). I thought that perhaps others might contribute to the thread with some other famous pipe smokers that they were aware of. It seems to have turned into an evaluation of Muttnchop, which is not what was intended. Hope that maybe we can get back on track here!

Most of you won’t remember James Whitmore , he was an avid pipe smoker that enjoyed English blends and the original ERR.

He's like an Ent from LotR. Those huge pauses where he just stares at you with those cold, dead, unblinking, dead mackerel eyes. hahaha |

I wish I knew what some of the famous pipe smokers smoked. I'm glad the thread got back on track. |
