I've searched all over the web and read through all the forums and gained some clues as to what the pipe used by Kurt Russell in the movie the Hateful 8 was, but to no avail, no one has yet put a distinct brand name to it. So, I'd like to have a discussion on what the actual pipe used was or a similar type pipe to add to my collection, because I like the color and stem, (which yes, I know, doesn't fit the time period by most who compare it to the time period in which the movie was set in and there has been much discussion as to the type being a Wellington or a Loewe, of French or London made pipes, but I'm interested in nailing down a replica or even finding out the actual manufacturer or even the store they bought it in, would be nice so others who have asked the same question I have can have some definite information to buy one themselves or feel like a bad ass, as I plan to, when I take a puff in a stagecoach (which likely will never happen), so any info on the actual pipe used in the film would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I've just started smoking pipes (and before you roll your eyes and just here for the pipe info). My Grandfather used to smoke them, when I was a little guy and I always enjoyed the smell of his Captain Black tobacco and how excited he and my Grandmother were, when he got his first Meerschaum Pipe and the excitement they had to watch it turn color. He never did get to finish coloring that pipe before he passed and I'm hoping with my own experience and yes, I bought a small Meerschaum first to get a feel for one, before I buy that expensive chiseled pipe to turn for many years to come. But I just wanted to share with people who understand that pipe smoking isn't just for smoking, but a part of you and I can remember him teaching me, "one pinch, is like shaking a baby's hand, second pinch, shaking a lady's hand and the third pinch, shaking a man's hand. It was one thing that seemed just a fun thing to say at the time, but has such more meaning for me today, since his passing and he was an avid pipe smoker, cleaned them thoroughly and it was something that meant something to him, that he shared with his Grandson.
So to all of you out there, this is more than just an experience, for me, it has deeper meaning and I wanted to share that with people like him, who saw his pipe, not just as a tool for smoking tobacco, but almost like a friend you spend some time with, take care of and place back in your pipe rack, until you meet again.
God bless and thanks for the memories Gene. It's because of you I started my love for pipes.
Thank you.
