This one is also super familiar for most people:
Sherlock Holmes
His pipe shape has seen some evolution - from a briar pipe to a Calabash, but definitely he smokes a bent pipe of not super chubby style. See a more recent interpretation of the young Sherlock Holmes:
What is in his pipe?
Probably some English mixture that burns well and doesn't interrupt his thought - just my guess.

Looks like Mammy Yokum is smoking a reed stemmed cob, and I would guess she would be smoking some sort of Kentucky tobacco. (goes good with corn squeezins)
When I grew up.....as if...TV was just becoming available. The first TV program I remember other than the test pattern is The Howdy Doody Show. It featured a stringed puppet.
A few years later, I got to watch the movie Pinocchio on TV! It too, featured an articulated wooden puppet.
One scene I always remember involves Pinocchio smoking a cigar.
Seems there are lots of Disney characters shown smoking.
I'll betcha JimInks has drawn a few, while smoking his pipe!
Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean.
His pipe shape seems to be one of those carved meerschaum pipe, but it is written that is a pipe made of bone:
Now, I am really not sure what that is, and how wet it can be to smoke a pipe under water, perhaps the mixture is some 'Flying Dutchman mixture' with potassium chlorate toppings.

What was in his pipe? I guess some navy flake, but it is also written:

Newbroom: less than you think, although I always have a pipe going when I draw. Unfortunately, the big comic book companies have banned smoking in their comics. Archie did that in the 1990s, Marvel and DC about 10-12 years ago. Really ticks me off, too. But I doodle lots of pipe smokers. Even did a commission for a fellow pipe smoker of Captain America smoking a pipe, The bowl was the face of Ben Grimm. Also did one of Batman smoking a pipe.
Nick Knatterton is a German pipe smoking detective. Always smokes a long stemmed straight pipe, billiard or a prince. Or something in between. Sometimes a dublin.
