60 Minutes just did a show about dead celebrities and they said that Einstein brings in more money than even Elvis. Good that he was an avid pipe man.

I'd say Einstein, then Twain. After those, the line gets blurry I think. Probably with Tolkien in there pretty close behind. But the world sadly is much more ignorant of Tolkien than Einstein and Twain -or should I say Clemens?... shhh.
Santa Clause.....

The Case of the Royal Murder
From the TV Series; Sir Arthur Conon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. (1954-1955)
Staring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes, and Howard Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson.
I really like the Tarzan series pipe! What is the skin, do you know?
MY 3 SON'S actor FRED MACMURRY.
Start here and follow the internal links 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.
Fred M. As Steve Douglas on My Three Sons:
Some more famous folks:
French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre

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

Ezra is More than welcome!

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!
I'd agree with Shelby Foote, and from the acting side of things Cary Grant
Speaking of the Booze side of things, Sailor Jerry was a pipe smoker and the Father of the American Sailor Tatoos!
