In addition, a few thoroughly researched articles on single aspects of Holmes pipes or tobaccos are available.

In addition, references to pipe smoking of persons other than Sherlock Holmes in the canon, except for Dr. Watsons "Arcadia" tobacco mixture which Holmes smoked at least once, are not examined.
