Trivia
- The item is a reference to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Specifically, it alludes to the phrase "three pipe problem" introduced in the short story Template:W, and refers to the amount of tobacco needed to ponder over and deduce the solution to a particular puzzle.
- The Calabash-shaped pipe, commonly associated with Sherlock Holmes, has a white meerschaum insert. Meerschaum is a special mineral only found in parts of Turkey. With tobacco use meerschaum will turn a golden brown color.
