...never mind remarkable.
Taken in my dad's de facto "man cave" in 1979. I still have the pipe I'm holding, too---a Sav Autograph sandblast w/bamboo shank. Little doubt we were both smoking Sobranie 759, and that I whupped his butt. (He was an enthusiastic player, but predictable. Topped out at USCF 1750-ish.)
I can't recall the pipe he is smoking but it is probably a GBD.
As for my mom complaining, it simply never happened. Men smoked pipes, end of story, and she was never bothered by things she couldn't change (plus I'm not sure it even bothered her.)
