The one Australian Prime Minister famous for smoking a pipe was Ben Chifley. He has appeared twice on Australian stamps that I know of but the pipe is absent on both.
I don't think I have any smokers on stamps but I've certainly bought lots that have had smokers' exhalations in stamps......... |

William Faulkner (1897-1962) was portrayed in his classical pose on the commemorative stamp of 1987. He received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1949. (Mentioned earlier, but not shown.)   Hi Bobby, I know what you mean. K. |

Here are a couple obscure U.S. taxpaid revenue stamps from the 1870s, both featuring smokers. The lower one has one of the oddest vignettes I've seen on a revenue.  |

The Great Film Directors set of stamps, 2012, honors, among others, John Ford. The background recalls a scene from The Searchers, a Western starring John Wayne and which takes place mostly in Monument Valley.   (Hi Greg, Interesting revenue stamps! They seem to be permits relevant to buying something alchoholic? K.) |

Samuel L. Clemens (1835-1910) himself enjoyed a cigar now and then. Clemens was not only a prolific writer, he was also a riverboat pilot, journalist, lecturer, entrepreneur and inventor. "The Awful German Language" is one of my favorite essays which he wrote traveling in Europe.   Photo of 1906, by A. B. Paine. |

Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most well-known of the smoking detectives. This stamp of 2012 shows him relaxed and contemplating a case.  |

France included Maigret in a set of stamps featuring detectives, 1996. Am adding the photo of a French actor who played the role in the 70s, Jean Richards.   Hi Nethryk, That Mali design is so well done! K. |
