 Probably the most successful series of pipes ever introduced by [[Peterson]] in terms of numbers. They were first issued in 1987 to honour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous  fictitious detective character, Sherlock Holmes.
-Holmes is perhaps the most famous pipe smoking character in fiction. He is reputed to have kept a selection of favourite pipes – from plain black [[clay pipe]]s to richly grained briar pipes – to which he frequently resorted to for inspiration, while unravelling a mystery, or solving a knotty problem. For solace, after bringing a difficult case to successful conclusion, and always for pleasure. A man who kept his tobacco in a Persian slipper has to be something of a character, and a colourful one to boot, as indeed was Mr. Holmes of 221B Baker Street, London.
