Excellent find, JeffD! Thanks! About the recipes: The Smoker's Coffee sounds GOOD, but the tobacco cookies I'm wary of  |

From Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Man With the Twisted Lip
It was soon evident to me that he was now preparing for an all-night sitting. He took off his coat and waistcoat, put on a large blue dressing-gown, and then wandered about the room collecting pillows from his bed and cushions from the sofa and armchairs. With these he constructed a sort of Eastern divan, upon which he perched himself cross-legged, with an ounce of shag tobacco and a box of matches laid out in front of him. In the dim light of the lamp I saw him sitting there, an old briar pipe between his lips, his eyes fixed vacantly upon the corner of the ceiling, the blue smoke curling up from him, silent, motionless, with the light shining upon his strong-set aquiline features. So he sat as I dropped off to sleep, and so he sat when a sudden ejaculation caused me to wake up, and I found the summer sun shining into the apartment. The pipe was still between his lips, the smoke still curled upward, and the room was full of a dense tobacco haze, but nothing remained of the heap of shag which I had seen upon the previous night.

We just finished watching the Boscombe Valley Mystery (Jeremy Brett), and Sherlock solved the case by identifying the cigar ash as being one of the 140 varieties that he was familiar with... it was a cigar from India... he did find the stub though.
