[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 162452, member: 341"] I think the spirit of Sam Spade--especially Bogart's--is a man who is rightfully distrustful of the world, a man always prepared to act, a man who expects people to lie and betray and the plot to twist. The real question is: When the hell does Sam Spade have time to enjoy a pipe? Sam's every inch a smoke-em-if-you-got-em cigarette man. That pipe, his one pipe, is a rare indulgence, something for one long, quiet bowl after he's closed a case, right before he sleeps the sleep of the just. And a man who can't afford to blink when death comes into his business day needs a completely escapist smoke. Nothing like the burley coffin nails he rolls by the dozen. No, it's a luxury. I'm thinking it's a Dunhill, from a tin (even at the tobacconist, he's distrustful), something classy but not fussy (Sam smoking "Baby's Bottom" or something with a flitty name like "Ye Olde Signe"? Never!) I'm going to say that Sam's once-in-a-very-long-time pipe is filled with London Mixture. [/QUOTE]
