Famous Living Pipe Smokers

So basically... Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones and one of the secondary characters in Mad Men? I hope @mso489 is right that there are more, but they just don't make much show of it

Yeah, if King Joffrey is all we have reppin out there we are in serious trouble.

It wouldn't be fair of me to post a billion celebrities, as I have read through about a hundred pages of posts in the dozen threads on this, ha ha.
What? Not famous? Mad Men has to be about one of the most watched series out there, surpassed maybe by Game of Thrones... and this guy is also a pipesmoker.

I was speaking of Gaddis, not the series. I still say he's very largely unknown outside the pipe and movie buff field, unlike many dozens of actors most of us could ID.

And, if you don't know who this is, then you probably have been under a rock for a decade.

Some GoT dude. I did not watch, but I am aware of the popularity of the series. Not everyone loved GoT.

Let me summarize the series: It's 20 or so pretty dislikable core characters are at odds with 20 or so really really dislikable characters. They keep killing each other. By the end of season four, you just hope everyone dies. Oh yeah, some dragons.

Yeah. That's pretty much it. The books were much better if you're ever interested in reading those.

Thanks. I did watch the first episode, and the last one as my son insisted. I did like some of the baring of breasts- at least the female ones.

I was going to say Zygmunt Bauman but then remembered that he died in 2017

I mentioned Thabo Mbeki earlier but realize that people outside of Africa may be unaware of who he is. Mbeki was the second president of South Africa after Nelson Mandela. He is a bit of a controversial figure but certainly a famous, still living, pipe smoker.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

I've no idea if he still does but Will Self the English author, journalist and doer of heroin on the Prime minister's plane smoked a pipe.

Chris.

I'm not sure if this counts but, in the Too Many People music video Paul McCartney appears with what I think is a Peterson.

Every time I go to my local shop I see them moving pipe tobacco, pipes, pipe cleaners, and pipe tools at a rate that says pipe smoking is something done by weird solitary people who are out there and yet rarely seen. They're like the bob cats here. You see signs they exist but you rarely see one. I assume there is a good chance that there are more then a few celebrity pipers out there.

Gone now, but worth an honorable mention.

John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants smoked or maybe still does smoke pipes and cigars.

St. Pete: Who is the fellow above, please?

I Believe it's Aleister Crowley

Indeed it is! And he smoked Perique soaked with rum and dried. The ideal smoke for summoning demons, or so it's said.

Not sure about the rum part, but I like the occasional straight Perique, and if I choose too large a bowl, summoning demons may not be far off track.

Chris Pratt smokes pipes and cigars. I believe there is a TMZ clip where he talks about it. Arnold still smokes his pipe quite often.

Tucker Carlson smokes pipes and cigars. Roger Stone smokes a Calabash.

Ellen DeGeneres smokes a pipe???
