Ginger's Favorite

Woodsroad - When I was trying to get some form of proof to the claim, I saw that image. It just seemed a bit "promo" for a publicity shot, so I dismissed it as proof (for myself).
But kudos to you sir for getting a tin!

Hobbit: the first part of your post is right on; the second not so much! Besides, next time I see Dan, there's a beverage or two in the offing. (I wonder how many tins he has!)
Dan- Still, an excellent try!!

Regardless who the pipe is named for its a good looking pipe

^^ I think thats Greta Garbo.................

I defer to you sir; I was skeptical when I posted. I mean, just what would I do with another tin? :crazy:

 

[woodsroad]

I only have one tin of Smyrna, but I still have several ounces of bulk left over from the old days when we gave away free samples.

Smooth finish and sandblast are certainly elegant. But I will have to give it to rusticated, a good one can wear like iron and keep looking great. Actually, get looking better.

@jpm yup i can commission but they wont be Savinelli

A tin of tobacco to the first who posts a (non-photoshopped) pic of Ms. Rogers' smoking on a pipe!

jpmcwjr - I do believe you have stumped the masses. I've looked for several days and cannot even find a written reference to Ginger Rogers smoking a pipe beyond the vendor site that was posted above.
I think your tin is safe. :puffpipe:

I love that pipe!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Whew! Thanks, hobbit! I've also challenged my fellows here to come up with a photo of Paul Kruger smoking a Hungarian shaped pipe. (Crassly later dubbed "Oom Paul" or "Uncle Paul". for that despicable South African.)

 

[woodsroad]

OK, here's one:
A tin of War Horse Red to the person who can come up with a picture of John smoking a Kriswill Chief (any finish will be OK) while bench pressing a one-armed ballerina with a speech impediment. On a Tuesday. With a spiny hedgehog named "Norman".
No photoshopping!

 

[dottiewarden]

The pic woodsroad posted looks more like a trans gendered Sherlock Holmes!

 

[lifesizehobbit]

No photoshopping!

That appears to approve the use of: Windows Paint, Mac Photos, Nikon NX2, Lightroom, MacFun and a few other editors.
Get that WarHorse ready Woodsy! :rofl:

How on Earth does that pipe look remotely feminine? Everyone knows that full bent pipes are for girls, straights are for men. ::

Finally got over my sinus thing and was able to fire up a bowl of Frog Morton On The Town in Ginger here. True to Savinelli's reputation, she smokes great right out of the box. Next to my Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson churchwarden, this is the longest pipe I own. It's very light and sits comfortably in my hand while seated. It's light enough to be clenched, but I've never been much of a clencher, so I only tested it. Nice addition to the stable without breaking the piggy bank.
jmpcwjr - Looks like you're keeping that tin. Seemed like a safe offering. LOL
:puffpipe:

I really like the colours in the stem of that pipe. A good looker for sure.

I bought a smooth Gingers Favorite with a curved stem for my wife a couple years ago.

She only smokes it once in a while but really likes the pipe. ::
