Pipe Smoker Of The Year List

[withnail]

From 1964 to 2003 the British Pipe Smokers Council awarded one famous person who smoked a pipe the title of "Pipe Smoker Of The Year". The list of previous winners include Prime Ministers, Actors, Comedians and Sportsmen. Sadly the last award was in 2003 when there was concern that the annual award broke the new laws on tobacco advertising.
Who would you vote for is the award was still running? Any one in the public eye that smokes a pipe would be eligible.

That is the most British list I've ever seen.
Although, I wouldnt mind sharing a pint with that Ranulph Fiennes dude. Sounds pretty cool.
