| Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe | comment |
When a writer wants to show that a character is just a little bit "above" everyone else in the group, in one way or another, he'll give them a pipe. The man with the pipe is usually depicted as being a little bit older, a little bit (or a lot) smarter (often a Professor or a Great Detective), in control, composed, unruffled and dignified. Perhaps even pompous, snooty, aloof or a bit haughty. Properly packing a pipe for smoking requires a bit of skill to judge — too loose, and the tobacco will immediately burn out; too tight and the smoker won't be able to draw enough air through it. When being held, the stem points back at the smoker, drawing attention to them as being the most important; it can also be used by them to point with. Generally does not apply to hillbilly/sailor corn cob pipe smokers, who usually defy the trope, though there are notable exceptions. This is Always Male but, as always, Tropes Are Flexible. A key element in the attire of the Quintessential British Gentleman, often enjoyed in a Smoky Gentlemen's Club. Also a key wardrobe accessory for the Standard '50s Father. The smoker is often, but not always, a Good Smoker. Compare Cigar Chomper, Smoking Is Cool. Occasionally revealed as a Bubble Pipe for comedic relief. |

Sherlock gave its titular character a nicotine patch habit due to 21st century London's stringent smoking laws. The show's adaptation of "The Abominable Bride" had Sherlock and Watson puffing away on pipes due to the episode's Victorian settingnote Benedict Cumberbatch said, however, that he and Martin Freeman, rather than actually smoking, were using thermal pipes that merely created smoke from the bowl.. | |

Occurs on the show Cheers at times. Kelly Gaines's father Walter is a wealthy, snobbish high-society sort who is frequently seen smoking a pipe. In the episode "Diane's Nightmare," Sam starts acting very sophisticated and debonair, which includes his lighting up a pipe. Then Diane wakes up to discover it was All Just a Dream. When she looks through Sam's desk, she finds an actual pipe, causing her to wonder Or Was It a Dream?... then she examines the pipe more carefully, blows into it and discovers it's a Bubble Pipe. |

In the "Flowers for Charlie" episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie begins taking intelligence-enhancing pills, and starts using a big, elaborate pipe, while expounding on War and Peace, though the pipe is clearly not lit. The pipe being purely for show foreshadows the fact that the pills are placebos, Charlie has merely convinced everyone he's growing smarter. Including himself. | |

Looney Tunes: A short featured Porky Pig living at an apartment and a dog trying to become his pet. Porky spent most of the episode trying to get rid of the dog but, when the dog tricked a neighbor into giving Porky a beating, Porky gave up and allowed the dog to stay. However, the dog started voicing second thoughts, enraging Porky, who decided to force the dog to dress like the dog at the top of the trope's page. The pipe was a part of it. Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog: Sam Sheepdog smokes a pipe, to contrast with Ralph Wolf's cigarette. Daffy Duck, when he played Doorlock Holmes in "Deduce, You Say." It was about the only dignified thing about that performance. |

Played with in a sweet way on The Pacific — Sledge doesn't take up smoking cigarettes, like nearly all the other Marines, but he does take to smoking a pipe. When his friend back home teases him about it, he explains that he finds the process calming. (In real life, Sledge's widow was so taken with Joe Mazzello's performance that she sent him her late husband's real pipe as a gift.) | |

Garfield: In the oldest strips, Jon had a proper one, an ivory-stemmed, mother-of-pearl inlaid meerschaum. Which Garfield used as a Bubble Pipe. When Garfield and Jon are absent, Odie watches a documentary about Mozart, reads War and Peace and dresses like the gentleman from the trope page, pipe included. Jon got a huge pipe and asked Garfield if that made him "look more sophisticated". It was a bubble pipe and Garfield replied, "Sadly enough, I have to agree".

The 1986 BBC production of Dorothy L. Sayers' Strong Poison. Lord Peter Wimsey smokes cigarettes (he offers one to the father of the murder victim while interviewing him), yet when he's trying to defend his last working hypothesis to Inspector Parker, he says, "Give me the statutory dressing gown and an ounce of shag and I'll dispose of that in a brace of shakes." The next scene depicts Wimsey smoking a pipe during an all-nighter of study, with open volumes of toxicology and forensic medicine strewn about. He reverts to a cigarette in the early hours of the morning as he discusses the case with Bunter one last time. This has the superiority bit, since Wimsey is proving the police have arrested and tried the wrong person (a trial that thanks to Miss Murchson ended in a hung jury) by building a case against someone else. It's also clearly a reference to Holmes, and it doesn't hurt that Wimsey is an aristocrat (younger son of the Duke of Denver). | |

Batman: Bruce Wayne smoked a pipe when he first appeared, in keeping with his Rich Idiot With No Day Job persona. In fact, the very first panel of his first appearance showed him smoking a pipe in Commissioner Gordon's study. The trait lasted for about a year before vanishing.note Though it did pop back up from time to time, as recently as the mid-80s Teen Titans run. And Commissioner Gordon himself, although depicted smoking cigars in the early years, was soon established as a dedicated pipe smoker. (Batman: Year Two established that Batman himself was responsible for this, having given Gordon a pipe to help him quit cigarettes.) Gordon eventually quit smoking after suffering a heart attack in the late 80s. Flashbacks will sometimes still show him with the pipe. |

Philip Marlowe sometimes smokes a pipe at home or in his office, though he smoke cigarettes while he's out and about. In Farewell, My Lovely he says in narration that he chooses the pipe to give his hands something to do and that anybody who assumes it signifies that he's a solid and respectable man is going to be disappointed. | |

The Incredible Hulk: Bruce Banner smoked a pipe in his first appearance, in The Incredible Hulk #1. In The '90s when Hulk had Bruce Banner's brain he also smoked a normal sized pipe, which for him was very tiny. A one-shot character in the Hulk series was a brainy college student based very loosely on Richard Loeb; he smoked a pipe as part of his "smartest guy in the room" persona. |

Sherlock Holmes would probably be the Trope Codifier. Technically, Sherlock Holmes gained his cliche calabash pipe when he made the transition to theatre. He smoked in the stories as well, but his three pipes were a short stemmed brier, a long stemmed cherrywood and a very well-used clay. Starting with William Gillette, actors added the large pipe to make it more clear from the stage what he was doing. The stage actor needed a pipe he could hold easily in his mouth while working with his hands. The famed meerschaum had the balance needed. And although Granada's classic adaptation with Jeremy Brett as Holmes is the only adaptation that remembers this, unless you count nicotine patches, Sherlock switched to cigarettes when pipes went out of fashion. |

Played straight during a Season 10 news segment on Top Gear when the presenters try out Porsche-designed pipes. Everyone starts laughing when they see how natural James May looks when smoking a pipe (especially because they were using old armchairs on the set that series) and he immediately plays up the old-gentleman mannerisms for laughs...before everything gets completely averted by Jeremy Clarkson ten seconds later when he burns his tongue after putting the wrong end of the pipe in his mouth (it's a Porsche, so the hot bit's supposed to go in the back). | |

Mark Trail smoked a pipe until the 80s, when anti-smoking advocates made him quit. The pipe's gentlemanly qualities were the reason he smoked it in the first place, as it gave him a thoughtful, Waldenesque air, and it made it all that much more exciting when he suddenly dispensed woodland justice with his fists. | |

On Barney Miller, Harris tries to invoke this with the author photo on the dust jacket of his book. His squadmates are quick to mock it considering that he's never been a pipe-smoker before (or since). | |

Pop from Happy Tree Friends sports a pipe in nearly every episode (often leading to other characters' demise). | |

In StarCraft II, the Battlecruiser unit portrait smokes one, though his Stop Poking Me! suggests he's more of an old drunk guy. | |

Jamie McJack in Girls with Slingshots is a rare female example: her "Romance Detective" character has a bubble pipe (Sherlock Holmes' Calabash-style). | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Alderman Fenwick is a pipe smoker (as seen in "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil"), which differentiates him from Cigar Chomper Tom Anderson, because Fenwick is older, more serious, and wields more political power than anyone else at the informal Smoky Gentlemen's Club. | |
