Something about a Soviet Sherlock just doesn't seem right. Sherlock is all about "thinking" and that was not approved of in Soviet Russia.... cray
At that time nobody thought about it...
BTW, they censored out Sherlock's phrase "Oh, you've served in Afghanistan!" (When he meets Dr. Watson). Changed it to "eastern colonies".
Another fun fact - Sherlock's pipe was hand-made by Alexey Fedorov, the guy who made Stalin's pipes. At some point during the making of the movies the pipe was stolen so they had to find Fedorov's apprentices to make another.

Bet he smoked it when he buggered chickens as the rumor goes. He was quite the deviant in real life.
A Scots friend was speaking to a farmer one day, another guy came by and the farmer said "hello Hen" as he passed. My friend asked if his name was Henry, but the farmer replied "naw, naw, he's been called that since he was caught _functioning_ wi' a hen"

@anotherbob Pipe scene in Barry Lyndon:
He blows clay pipe smoke in his wife's face - he'd be kicked out of Lace Wars for that!
Saddest part is I kept thinking he's puffing too much and needs to slow down a bit. Great movie every single scene is shot as if it's a painting from the time period. You know a movie is great when it's three hours long. And that scene is the first indication what a terrible husband he is.

@anotherbob Sometimes I can be prone to puffing too much & need to slow down a bit; I was worried about the pipe going out & people (especially re-enactors) like to see a BIG CLOUD of clay pipe smoke:)

This evening I watched episode 7 of Fallout, and got to see a few seconds of Cooper Howard smoking a pipe on his couch (pre-war). I don’t have nearly enough experience to identify the pipe.

I accidentally came across Christopher Lee in 'Incident at Victoria Falls' (1992), and noticed this meerschaum he was smoking. Here's a photo I took of the t.v. screen, showing it from the side.

Also found a quote of his that I liked: "I think an actor should try anything he can in his career except folk dancing and incest..."
