Did anyone mention Corpse Bride? We watched it again last night. There’s a dapper deceased gentleman who loves his pipe 
That is against the rules of Lace Wars, smoking in the presence of ladies and blowing smoke in their faces!Stanley Kubrick‘s „Barry Lyndon“ has a scene, where the protagonist annoys his wife in the coach with a clay pipe. Though he does not care too much.
LADY LYNDON: Redmond, would you mind not smoking for a while? Redmond?
Barry blows smoke in her face then kisses her.

the MiniSeries Gormenghast has a bunch of professors including one played by Stephen Fry seem to hold pipes in a few scenes. There is actually a pretty nice variety and the show was actually pretty great too.
Episode 8 of the first Doctor, William Hartnell, titled The Reign of Terror has one of the French conspirators handling and smoking his clay pipe through several of the 6 episodes of that story.
There is a Japanese anime of 85 episodes, Robotech: The Macross Saga, where the ship's captain hauls out his pipe often, even being reminded in the first episode by one of his bridge crew, "Captain, there's no smoking on the bridge."

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and Murder By Decree both have some rather amusing Holmes smoking his pipe scenes. The latter is quite fun where Holmes uses Watson's hypodermic syringe to unblock his pipe and leaves the bent wreckage on the table for Watson to find! 
I've been catching up on a lot of old films during the lockdown and can't help but notice the pipe scenes (and that usually leads me to packing a bowl).
Here's Charlie, in one of his short films from 1916-1917, smoking and playing:

I was watching Live and Let Die again yesterday and although it’s not a good pipe smoking film, there are a couple of scenes with characters smoking pipes. The one that caught my eye was Strutter, the CIA agent. As a newbie, I’m not sure if it’s a Liverpool or a Canadian (I think a Canadian?) but it caught my eye because I’d just recently said I don’t like billiards with long shanks but since seeing this one in action, I’ve changed my mind.

The Crown. About halfway through the third season, Harold Effing Wilson is shown with a pipe in a cabinet meeting. The stem is upside down! It'a a 1/8th bent or less, but clearly no one involved in shooting that sequence has a clue about pipe smoking. (I've a feeling this was mentioned before)
I've been watching reruns of Cannon, he smokes some kind of bent pipe in some of the episodes. I haven't been able to identify it yet. Cannon is a triumph of the human spirit, chasing hos and kicking ass. The man is 4ft 5in 300lbs, and still somehow an action hero.
In Disney's Mr. Toad, theres a couple scenes of Ratty smoking a pipe. Basil of Baker Street from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective smokes a calabash.
