Hello - I haven’t actually started smoking pipe tobacco yet, but want to learn more about it. I figure a forum like this might be a good place to start!

Sherlock Holmes inspired my interest in pipe tobacco (though I’m aware that he doesn’t necessarily smoke a pipe in the stories…), and I noticed that there’s a Professor Moriarty in the forum! I’m curious whether there are more Holmes fans among us?

- Charles

Hello and welcome from California 🌞 Happy to have you here, friend!

Believe it or not, I just finished reading my first Sherlock Holmes story last week. I've seen the Basil Rathbone movies, but I had never actually read any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work until recently.
And to your point, Holmes and Watson were smoking cigarettes in the story.

Hi and welcome from Northamptonshire, England. For Christmas this year I received a full set of 7 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Pipes from my Partner, she found them in a auction, all unsmoked from the late 80's to 1991, it included the pipe stand for all 7, I was over the moon when I saw them, they are not unsmoked now.

Hello and welcome from West Virginia. I have been a huge Sherlock Holmes fan since I was a child, which was a long time ago. Sherlock Holmes had his 3 pipe nights when he had a tough problem to solve. Welcome aboard.
