254-DS PsonSH Lestrade SOLD
AI overview: Inspector Lestrade (G. Lestrade) is a recurring, competent but conventional detective with Scotland Yard who frequently calls on Sherlock Holmes for his superior deductive skills, representing official policing clashing with Holmes's genius in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. He's portrayed as a determined, tenacious, often slightly pompous man who relies on procedure but recognizes Holmes's unique ability, sometimes begrudgingly.
The pipe is a Full Bent Apple with excellent balance. Its tapered stem ensures a cool and pleasant smoke.
254-DS PsonSH Rathbone SOLD

It pays tribute to Basil Rathbone, one of the earliest actors to portray Sherlock Holmes on screen.

254-DS PsonSH Strand SOLD
AI overview: In Sherlock Holmes stories, "The Strand" refers primarily to The Strand Magazine, the popular British monthly where most of Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective tales were first published, making it synonymous with the character and shaping his public image through illustrations, especially those by Sidney Paget, though it's also a real London street.
The street's name comes from the Old English strond, meaning the beach or edge of a river, as it historically ran alongside the north bank of the River Thames.
The pipe is a Quarter Bent Tall Apple with a refined and handy design, featuring a semi-straight stem that makes it unique in its kind.
