Sherlock Holmes Collection

[solideogloria86]

During the recent 3 year old Dunhill sale at smoking pipes, I was able to snag a tin of 221b Baker Street. It now has a permanent home among my small Sherlock Holmes collection. Thinking of adding a tin of Peterson Sherlock Holmes as well.

Any other Sherlockians have any collectibles to show?

Can’t say I’m a fan, but I respect and love hearing about other people’s fandom. I remember reading somewhere that Holmes fans are considered the original Fanboys and wrote probabaly the first fan fiction. Just need to add a nice Calabash pipe to the collection (yes, I know the original Holmes never smoked a Calabash and it was an addition by some stage actor).

I don’t have any collectibles. But some day, I want to solve a hard problem by staying up all night, sitting atop a pile of five pillows and consuming an ounce of shag.

I’d pick margate.

Actually not a bad idea! Not sure if it'll be easier, or harder to convince my wife why I need a pipe to not smoke. ?

If you do, please reply here with a detailed summary of events.....or have a Dr. friend write it down and post it for you. Whatever works.

I am a member of a few Sherlock Holmes Scion Societies (groups affiliated with The Baker Street Irregulars). Many of these members collect Sherlockiana of all kinds, as do I. Recently, I added a tin of the vintage Peterson's Sherlock Holmes tobacco. One of our Forum advertisers, PipeStud.com, has a couple tins left of this vintage iteration of the tobacco, with unobstructed tin art, on his website (page 10, $35.00).
Here is a photo, from my recent post on the "What are you smoking" thread, showing the tin art.

Have first series of Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipe. Missing 3 in second series. Do enjoy the books, but not exactly a die hard fan.

I'll definitely check for a tin. Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Sherlock and have read most of the books and short stories. Don't have any collectibles to speak of, but an old clay pipe I smoke sometimes with my "Sherlock's shag" blend. Half black stoved red virginia and half black stoved Kentucky. I guess similar to the dark bird's eye blend. Seems like something he would have smoked. Haven't tried any of the Sherlock blends, but I have to say I don't think any of them are something he would have smoked himself as he smoked the strong dark shag of the working class man. But that might be a little hard to market to most folks, myself included. Glad to see some people here taking an interest in Sherlock though, whether it's pipes, tins or whatever tickles your fancy.

Went ahead and snagged a tin. I honestly had never seen the older tin art until now. Couldn't pass it up. Thanks for the heads up!

I haven't actually tried any of the Sherlock blends either. Just buying to put on the shelf. I definitely don't have to nicotine tolerance of Holmes though. I've never encountered a 3 pipe problem. One usually does the trick.

Haha

Haha ya one bowl usually solves the problem.

Closest thing I have is a tin of McClelland’s 221b Black Shag. Nice tobacco. I also have a Peterson 315 XL if that counts, haha. I guess I do also have a tin of the Dunhill 221b as well now that I think about it.
