[QUOTE="DrT999, post: 424825, member: 1935"] While Lord Peter Wimsey usually smokes cigarettes or cigars in most of the novels, he does smoke a pipe in 'Gaudy Night' (the chapter where he is punting at Oxford). I believe he and Detective Parker both smoke pipes elsewhere but can't recall the scenes (I seem to remember instances where they knock the ashes from their pipes at least once each). Of the tv adaptations, Wimsey smokes a pipe in the flashback to the trenches in the first episode of 'The Nine Tailors' -- in that tv adaptation, the actor playing the Reverend usually has a pipe in the rectory scenes, and another character (a sailor on leave) cuts up some plug tobacco for his pipe. More recently, in the James Harriot books, one of the vets (a well known small animal vet in another town) usually had a pipe when seen in the series. On the negative side, a hag is smoking a pipe in the Leaky Cauldron in one of the early Harry Potter books, and the petty criminal 'Dung' Fletcher is a pipe smoker. . . . [/QUOTE]
