Top Gear Pipes
I was watching Top Gear on BBC America. It is the one where they cross the English Channel in homemade amphibious Cars. And when they were introducing the piece, they were all smoking pipes. It looked like James May and Jeremy Clakrson had a Petersons, they looked like straight ones with a chunky stem.

Re: Top Gear Pipes
After a little research...Looks like they were actually Porsche Design pipes. They did not are that segment in the US.

Top Gear pipe smoking sparks apology call
Campaigners are demanding the BBC apologise after Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May appeared to flout the smoking ban on the show.

Campaigners are demanding the BBC apologise after Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May appeared to flout the smoking ban on the show.

The pair lit up pipes containing herbal tobacco during the news section of Monday's show.

Waverley Borough Council said it was investigating the incident which took place at Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, where Top Gear was being filmed.

All three presenters pulled out pipes during a discussion about Porsche-branded products.

Richard Hammond decided not to light up.

After putting the wrong end in his mouth and burning his tongue, Clarkson, 47, was seen running from the stage.

The BBC said it received just a couple of complaints from viewers.

Calls for apology for smoking pipes? Maybe we should have let Germany win the war

Re: Top Gear Pipes
He was goofing around. Very funny bit.

Of course James looks perfect with a pipe. It suits him

Re: Top Gear Pipes
Eventually restrictions lead to revolt.

Even if it means a couple of guys on a tv show . Everyone remembers what it is like to be a kid and get told how to do everything.

I respect the boys of TG for mocking the draconian BS the Brits push.
