Fictional Characters who should have smoked Pipes

[kcghost]

Harry Bosch.

 

[fadingdaylight]

Inspector Gadget

Dumbledore (stop trying to hide pipes from our kids!)

Captain Barbosa

Hannibal Lecter
Dont know if any of you guys are familiar with Ian Irvine's "View From The Mirror" quartet, but damn near half the characters in those books shouldhave smoked a pipe.

 

[fadingdaylight]

How did I miss this one...
The Lorax!

 

[sablebrush52]

Moby Dick

 

[rthbaum]

Colonel Potter from MASH.
"I think Pipe smokers are people who generally sit back watch, listen, then jump up and put people in place with a pipe in one hand and a hot or alcoholic beverage in another"
AMEN Brother!

 

[fadingdaylight]

Although he wasn't fictional, does anyone know if Poe smoked a pipe? He could've been the most epic pipe smoker in human history.

 

[riskybusiness]

Several of Poe's stories mention pipe smoking, but I'm not sure if he smoked a pipe himself. I suppose we could ask the Poe Museum?

 

[stiivn]

Go on, then. Here's a +1 for all Dr Whos smoking big calabashes.

 

[fadingdaylight]

Magneto. He couldve pulled it off.

 

[fadingdaylight]

Bruce Wayne

Elijah from Vampire Diaries (go ahead, laugh, but he should have)

House
I will find more, I love this thread.

My favorite cartoon character is Daffy Duck, therefore the Avatar I made of him. Added the Pipe and smoke, :D

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer from Monk played by Ted Levine.
A pipe hanging from his jaw while brooding over a crime scene would seem perfectly normal.
Dr. Daniel J. Pierce from Perception played by Eric McCormack.
He's a professor who solves crimes for the FBI. A pipe would fit.

 

[riffraff]

Art Mullins from Justified should smoke a pipe. As should:
Hans Gruber from Die Hard

Columbo - Peter Faulk

Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon
I do think Edgar Allen Poe did smoke a pipe, but it was full of opium. :rofl:

 

[matchstick]

 

[riverchaopraya]

BBC's Sherlock Holmes. What kind of a Sherlock Holmes doesn't smoke pipe but uses nicotine patches in stead? Sacrilegious I realize they're trying to interpret Holmes in a new way, but I think a little bit of addiction gives him a human face.

 

[plateauguy]

+1 for Nero Wolfe
Kinsey Milhone from the Sue Grafton series of books

 

[fadingdaylight]

+1 to the new Holmes. Nicotine patches? Really? WTF. I won't even watch the show for that one reason alone. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is rolling in his grave.

 

[riverchaopraya]

Yeah, I know. I agree with you fadingdaylight. The show is very popular though. It's a very well made series, except for the fact that Holmes doesn't smoke.

 

[agnosticpipe]

What, no votes for Frasier Crane? Pipes are so good for gesturing, while pondering which he often did. And as an added benefit it would drive his brother Miles crazy too.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Holmes even mentions in the show, "It's impossible to keep up a tobacco habit in this city!".
