yeah, pipe smokers seem to be a fairly rare breed these days. 
However, Marty, from Sherlock's, did show me some pictures of Iraq
soldiers that smoked a pipe and explained that this is where
cigar-ettes came from.

There's such a thing as a military pipe which is a pipe that can be
smoked in only 15 minutes or so.  Soldiers needed this for obvious
reasons.

He explained that the cigar-ette was invented for the same reason: to
be quick cigar for soldiers, thus the term cigarette or small cigar.

kind of interesting.
