Has anyone ever wondered when they are watching a movie or show where the actors smoke pipes what pipe tobacco they are smoking? Since 90 percent of them probably aren't pipe smokers it makes me even more curious.
Like watching Lord of the Ring movies and wondering, "I wonder what that dwarf is smoking?" Probably Captain Black or something like that...but who knows?
Likewise, I wonder what someone like Jeremy Brett, who was an avid smoker, would smoke while running around as Sherlock Holmes? He might bring his own tobacco to the set but I wonder if the prop department often hands out actors pipes to use and tobacco to use with it. I also wonder if they get primers to pretend to know what they are doing.
Lastly, I wonder if this is some sick obsession even wondering what they are smoking....but that is another issue. If pipe smoking wasn't such a niche activity I probably wouldn't give any of this a second thought. I love beer but never wonder what type of beer actor A is sipping while at the bar.
