He wasn't seen with a pipe after the early 1950's maybe even prior to thatIf he did, I've never read such, he probably came to prefer the cigar experience over what he got out of a pipe.
Roll of Dimes would be a good name for a throwback blendThat's a fairly young Welles in the top photo. Of course, pipesmoking was so very common back then that there are lots of photos of well known folks with pipes. Even Sinatra was photographed with pipe in hand, although Frank was really always a cigarette smoker (even buried with a pack of cigs (can't remember the brand), a lighter, a bottle of Jack and a roll of dimes for the eternal pay phone (a habit he started when his son was kidnapped).
As he aged, Orson gained a great deal of weight. He was not particularly heavy when he was young. The weight might have denoted being more sedentary, and pipes definitely require more activity to smoke. Also, I suppose he became more financially well-off over time, through investments if not show biz, so cigars would not have been a financial consideration. In his later career, he became a pitch man for a brand of wine. His tag line was, "We will sell no wine before its time." If you remember seeing that on TV, you're no kid.

Hadn't looked it up for a while. Was watching when it happened and figured it would go for far more or I would've tried to get it myself.?just my own incapacity to maintain an attention span in the 21st century- sheer laziness - my apologies
I thought you had it handy at the time
For me: Kane destroying his wife’s bedroom.
I’m shocked at how low the dollar amount was. WowHadn't looked it up for a while. Was watching when it happened and figured it would go for far more or I would've tried to get it myself.?
it's the same as with his films - I know a lot about Welles but was letting everyone else do the talking as I was enjoying the thread - Ms. Kodar(his companion) mentioned how by the end of his life Orson was left for dead and ripped off - he was promised the world in financing and got nothing - goes to show how GREAT he was to work on such a budget and to be consistently undervalued though never underappreciatedI’m shocked at how low the dollar amount was. Wow
