Does your pipe fit your Face style?????

[docwatson]

At the time this was a good marketing strategy, but still makes sense today. Although what kind of face should smoke a drip wax finish??? :lol!:

Ha! I was just looking at this in jlong's thread wondering which pipe should be smoking. Considering the variety in my collection, I guess I'm Lon Chaney.

 

[smokinbriar]

I prefer short pipes with saddle bit stems.

 

[DrT999]

I don't know if it 'fits' but they have me pegged!

 

[jlong]

For me, a gourd calabash because it covers up my face. :face:

 

[Dutch]

Andy, they didn't cover fat and tall, so I guess I will smoke what I like, and to hell with fashion. :tongue:

 

[idbowman]

I would need a bulldog with a bowl the size of a softball.

Right on!

Is there a Kaywoodie for short, stout, old, ugly, rather ornery, often cantankerous and self defacing old fart? I didn't think so (that's why I don't own one). :lol:

Natch

 

[Brewdude]

My late Pap smoked Kaywoodies. That must account for something!

Cheers,

Well, I'm stout and partial to "bent" pipes, so they have me pegged.

 

[shaharh]

not me so much... I prefer smaller and bent pipes, so I would have to be a "mix" of two "types"...

Think I have one to fit your description, maybe on Monday when I return home I can post a picture of it for you. :lol!: :lol!:

Only weird pipes for a weird guy, or really normal pipes for a weird guy, so the pipe isn't stealing the show?

Besides being classic marketing of the time, pipe fashion-consciousness is kind of a anachronistic concept to me. Especially with the more modern styles, both pipe and personal.

I fit that description...or as a friend calls me, "burly henchmen # 3."

I settled on a large billiard, like a Dunhill ODA (for example but I mainly have Italians who make a few more generous pipe) classic, yet masculine but just a bit bigger than average.

 

[CharlG]

Interesting one! They sort of have me, I think!

 

[Blue Max]

Mine doesn't fit my face but I sure do like it.
