I think its basically just another spin on the 'no bite' assurances marketed by every tobacco company since forever...
Those ads were common in that time frame. The reality is that some pipe smokers inhale. Some regularly, some occasionally. Of course, many do not inhale.
Every pipe smoker has their own methods of enjoying the pipe. No way is really a wrong way.... it is all about what the individual likes. Of course there are different effects and potentially different ramifications of the various choices, but that is really outside of this discussion.
Also, in another way, the ad is a reflection of its time. A lot of fellows who came back from the war in the 40s and 50s were used to the free cigarettes they received as part of their rations. The ad reflects the idea of the time that many wives were of a mindset that they would rather their husband smoke a pipe instead of cigarettes.... be it because of a sense of “sophistication” or a more pleasant odor or for a myriad of reasons.... the ad suggests to a suggestive wife that this route may work to get their husband to switch to a pipe.

Accidentally inhaled the other day. I wasn't thinking and it just went down. I didn't enjoy that at all. Much stronger than Marlboro Red.
To conclusively prove your pipe masculinity inhale a full-bodied cigar.
John Huston being interviewed by Dick Cavett inhaled a cigar.
I never inhaled either pipe or cigar but of course inhaled cigarettes. Last cigarette 09/13, last pipe 04/18.

Pipe smokers inhale, but mostly not intentionally and not in volume. Back when that ad was run, inhaling was a good thing, a way to fully enjoy a smoke and get the full charge out of the nicotine. Obviously, in another decade or so, the whole understanding of cigarettes, tobacco smoking, and inhaling changed completely, so this ad looks either comical or grotesque today. Looking back, we know what was coming.
Yeah, that whole dont inhale pipe tobacco thing is over rated. Over the holidays there was another thread about not inhaling so I decided to prove those candy asses wrong by chain inhaling four bowls of the strongest, highest nic tobacco I could find, GH& Co Brown Twist as fast as I could. And I did prove them wrong because I did it! I just wish I hadn't chosen to do it on the front porch. And I just wish I hadn't chosen to do it on the day of my wife's women's Christmas party. And I just wish I hadn't passed out and soiled myself and that the women were the the ones who found me and woke me up. And I wish I hadn't burned a hole in our new porch. But I proved those candy asses wrong!
I love the old marketing spin of these ads. "Contains a rare aromatic tobacco never before used in popular-price blends..." Translation: We've got a boatload of this tobacco that we can't seem to sell at any price so we're mixing it in with this cheap shit. ?
I often inhale such as Old Dark Fired and 1792 Flake. Olive has a Maduro that I occasionally inhale.
hauntedmyst, love the hyperbole!

I once proved that I could down 10 shots of tequila in under 60 seconds... won the battle, but lost the war in a spectacularly messy way. Ahhh to be a 20 year old soldier again!
"Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine". Yeah, I've just found this out: I prided myself in drinking neat liquour: now that my oesophagus is killing me, I must top the martini with fruit juice. Maybe if I had always topped it, I wouldn't be suxed like this. Getting old sux; and I reckon many times we only hasten old age and illness through our recklessness.
I won't inhale pipes or cigars: nothing to prove.

Inhaling is a no for me. I was a cigarette smoker for almost 20 years and stopped smoking anything for almost 12 years until I found cigars and them pipes. I do want to preserve my lungs so I can smoke my pipes for a longer time
