The Codger Cabin

This thread is such a pleasure, and has triggered some fun Google research. One thing I've started viewing here and there are vintage issues of Pipe Lovers magazine. After reading snippets like this from 1946, it's truly amazing to ponder how we can order and debate about any ol' kind of pipes/tobacco we want from all over the globe...
It reminds me of that Civil War movie where two Union and Confederate soldiers see each other across a creek one morning, and peaceably but warily trade a gulp of coffee for a puff on a pipe.

Was lighting a pipe with a zippo or smoking a pipe in precipitation upside down a thing, or was this just a case of a clueless illustrator?
Smoking your pipe upside down in bad weather is definitely a thing.
I tried the upside down thing a few times. First time the tobacco fell out from a loose packing.
I have to say that if the weather was such that smoking my pipe upside down was necessary, I wouldn't be out in it!

As said, flipping a pipe upside down in foul weather is a real thing. I've done it once or twice in a sudden downpour. Usually when dashing from one dry location to another.
Typically it should be burning (or have been burning), which helps slightly tighten the load in the bowl. Otherwise, a fresh load can empty out.
Lighting it upside down is another thing. I've never done that, and I've never personally seen it done.
We'll be seeing some more upside down pipes in the future. It was a pretty common practice.

I remember watching about half of that movie. About an hour in, I realized I had no interest in either of the main characters, in fact, vigorously disliked them both. I'd forgotten the pipe, though.
I haven’t seen the movie but this still comes up quite often. A rum soaked rope might be the best suited baccy for this setup.

That's Eagle Scout level of preparedness - carrying around matches in case you encounter a man with a pipe!
