Where's the pipe?

Inspired by my time on these forums, last night I decided to see what netflix had in the way of Sherlock Holmes. I came across a recent BBC iteration that takes place in a more modern England (called simply "Sherlock"). To my great disappointment the title character does not smoke a pipe.

He uses nicotine patches.
Which I think is totally badass.
It's a new-age adaptation. And in this new age tobacco doesn't look as good on the tele as it once did.
It's the producer/director's fault, not the Holmes.

Still a brilliant show. I guess I'll have to get my tv pipe's from Lord of the Rings (as though I needed an excuse for another marathon).

I just started watching this on Netflix as well. Great show, but the pipe is missed for sure...

Season two just started on PBS. You can stream the first two episodes on line.

I enjoyed the first season, didnt watch the second yet

Finished the first season last night. I was honestly surprised with how impressed I was with it. I typically have trouble getting into british tv.

I really like the new Sherlock Holmes movie's...interesting he doesn't smoke the pipe though.

We will just have to rely on images like this for Holmes-pipedom:

Anyone know what pipe that is he's holding?

I think in that photo it is a Dunhill of some kind. The second film had a number of pipes - but I think one was a Savinelli King's Cross Featherweight. This is just speculation/what I have read, so I can't say for certain.

Oh no! Could it be!

Ladies and Gentleman, let's give it up for Spartan! He'll be here all week.....

Im positive i read somewhere Dunhill was the source for all of Holmes' pipes at least in the second movie

That would be cool if it really is true!
Does that make me a badass for using nicotine patches? :D
