Ernest Hemingway's Pipe...

[Andykarr]

The pipe ! The pipe !
None of you mentioned The Pipe !
The Ser Jacopo is (almost) a dead ringer of the pipe in the photo. Well done finding it.?

Absolutely! I love it! And, it makes me look much smarter! Though, it obviously doesn't seem to make me much smarter~

 

[mikethompson]

Well done on finding your döppelganger pipe!

Cool pipe--but I'm a billiard freak and would say that anyhow, because that's a great example of the shape. For what it's worth, Hemingway didn't smoke. He told someone once that it interfered with his sense of smell. There's a doctored photo (drawing?) of him with a cheroot stuck in his mouth that Cigar Aficionado used for an article, but that's all I've ever seen. Some photos look like he might be holding a pipe, but it always turns out to be binoculars or whatever. There's the obvious Fuente cigar named after him, but that seems as ersatz as the Hemingway Mont Blanc fountain pen. He wrote in pencil, if not typing. I, personally, have a Hemingway Bridge that I am offering for sale to anyone interested.

He didn't smoke? I can understand not smoking "same cigarettes as me", but not smoke at all? What was he? A bird?

Similar to Bing’s favorite, except he preferred a lighter smaller bowl.

That just might be the most unflattering picture of Bing I’ve ever seen. He looks like he’d been dead a week when the photo was taken.

I not think he looks that bad… It was probably taken when he was in his 70s, which was the typical appearance of someone around that age in mid-1970’s (passed away at 74 in 1977)

Here we go. Looks like a corn cob. And I think he is going for the Che look if I am not mistaken, LOL.

Nice find. Yes, he also smoked cigarettes in WW I Italy. But I've read too many references to his not being a smoker, as the term is generally used, to believe otherwise. Here is what he did best, in my opinion--even though in this instance the bottle appears to not be aligning with his gullet orifice. I've found his writing to be interesting--slightly. Not sure I'd want to be around with him wielding a .416 Rigby in Africa or anywhere else, but the man probably had some amusing tales to tell around a campfire.

I found this great picture of Dean Martin smoking a pipe. I’m a big Rat Pack fan. Anyone know what pipe ol’ Dino is smoking here? I’m thinking it’s a Merchant Service, like Bing smoked.

 

[LOREN]

Still a great looking pipe!

Papa did not smoke cigarettes, cigars, or pipes as many have been lead to believe. Hemingway believed smoking blunted the sense of smell which to him was a paramount sense when hunting.

Now booze...the man could drink, but not in such quantity as Faulkner.

Most likely a Sinatra Favorite by Savinelli.

Don't be silly. That's Sammy Davis Jr.

Still laughing.....

That's not Dino! That's Sammy! He's smoking Oom Paul right there.

There is a doctor in Anchorage who's sign downtown says "Dr. Bill Faulkner" outside the building. Every time I drive by it I can't help but wonder how many "As I Lay Dying" jokes the man must have heard.

...If you would like to be challenged, mystified and amazed by the English language...

try Ulysses by James Joyce (which also includes the second longest sentence in an English language book at 4,391 words[*]).

[*] The longest is 13,955 words long in Jonathon Coe's "The Rotters Club"
