Bing Crosby's "Holiday Inn" pipe

[PhatCat]

So I finally figured out a decent way of getting screen captures of dvds.

These are some shots of Bing Crosby's pipe in Holiday Inn. Q The Cop sent me a link to some Savinelli pipes in another thread and that was a big help.

However, this pipe seems to be different. It's a pretty cool shape. I'm not sure if it's considered a "panel" shape or something else.

I'm going to continue to look for estate pipes that fit this type of profile but maybe someday see if someone could make one like it if I never find one.

The movie was originally black & white but they released it a year or so ago with color put in frame by frame. HOwever, I'm not sure how accurate the colors are.

And a couple shots of the crooner himself puffing away:

Looks like Bing's was a bit more "square" than that one.

Thank goodness. That Dunhill is already over $2k! Holy smokes!

Nice pipe though. Beautiful.

Try doing a search for a panel style billiard pipe, or square panel pipe.

Thanks Anthony. Panel Billiard. That's it.

That Jean Lacroix Nizza would fit the bill nicely!

I can't believe how much that 1950 Dunhill commands. Awesome pipe though.

Thank you for the entertaining pics!

I keep some of the blend Peretti did for him - #111. Not a favorite but I still trot it out a few times a year.

It's a deer tongue blend which is a vanilla-like flavored herb with a bit of heat to it.
