Start here and follow the internal linkshttp://www.pipephil.com/article-2775903.html for the full story on the Tarzan pipe. It's written in French, so you'll probably need the Google translator.
The skin is reportedly leopard (Panthera pardus), but IMO it could easily be artificial. I dunno. The stamping on the "leather" purportedly says TRC Savvage, but I'm gonna check some old Iwan Ries (IRC) catalogs to see if they ever sold a Savvage line of pipes. At any rate, the picture of Tarzan with a pipe seems pretty unambiguous.

Some more famous folks:
French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre

and the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn

Read Sartre, listen to Stevie Ray and smoke your pipe....that's my heaven....Jack Daniels is invited too.

Jack couldn't make it.... How about Ezra Brooks?

 

[bronxbriar]

Gotta bump this thread.
We have to include crime fiction author Raymond Chandler.

Don't forget Wee-Man! I highly doubt he actually smokes that pipe though.
Edit: This is my 300th post!

 

[viceroy]

I'd agree with Shelby Foote, and from the acting side of things Cary Grant

 

[duncan]

Speaking of the Booze side of things, Sailor Jerry was a pipe smoker and the Father of the American Sailor Tatoos!

It has to be Sherlock Holmes. Ask anyone who is the most famous pipe smoker and that will be the answer.
I watched the "new" Sherlock Holmes movie on blueray last saturday and it was really great although not with enough pipe smoking. Can't wait for the next one.

Also it would seem Fritz the Cat smokes a pipe too :wink:
