Which Kaywoodie are you?

[Tobias Lutz]

I found this old ad that amused me, and got me thinking about all the different "faces" of pipe smokers. Young, old, affluent, blue-collar, studious, outdoorsy, etc. Which month of the 1953 calendar typifies you best?

I'm going with August- he seems the most "laissez faire" :pipe:

[Lostmason]

Of the choices , I will have to go with July, Easy going, outdoors type. But,the should have a homeless guy with a bubble pipe to trully reflect my personallity.

[mooster]

Probably the dork in January who thinks he's funny.

[dj1340]

I'm the July guy, 75% of my pipes are that style

[Branzig]

I'm probably more July, but my pipes are all rusticated like Mr. May. And May looks like a golfer in that sweet spring hat.

So say hello to Mr. May right here :lol:

August. Casual, relaxed, chillin outside in the sun (yeah, yeah, i know. i live in Michigan). Most of the rest have a shirt and tie and I'd rather have my scrotum speed bagged than wear that shite again.

[Emperor Zurg]

I am not currently sporting a kayWoodie of any kind...

[Ropey]

Guess bent wasn't a very popular style..

What's strange is that it looks like all the faces were drawn first and then the pipes stuck in as an afterthought.

[BryGuySC]

I'm offended there is no bearded option!

That being said, March is probably my style; maybe November.

Speaking of Kaywoodie, I've got an old 4-hole stinger, but the white logo on the bit is on the bottom. How does that happen?
Also the button is completely trashed. Is there a source for a replacement stem, or do a have to have one made?

I don't see a scruffy old guy in a ratty bathrobe, so I guess I'm none of those.

[JustTroItIn]

I don't see any IT geeks or motorcycle garage wrenches in the group so with the options provided I'm another July man. It would have been funny if one of the months was a scraggly greasy looking bastard but different times I guess. :cool:

[Horsefeathers]

I'd probably consider myself a July, but I'd would love to be able to pull of the James Bond look of June. :cool:

[Desertlifter]

How times have changed - imagine using a calendar of pics with dudes smoking pipes to sell pipes to other guys. Nowadays this would be a calendar of scantily clad coeds awkwardly holding pipes they'd never used in their lives.

And June, of course.

[Haebar]

I'm most like the July guy with his fishing hat, but I'd prefer the March pipe.

[MrMotoyoshi]

I'm too ugly to be any of those guys... :tranq:

[c.ortiz108]

I'd go with August, though when I grow up I'll be sleazy, cheesy June. Great post, thanks!
