We’re talking about Gandalf’s pipe, specifically where he keeps it. It’s not up his sleeve or in the pocket of his robe — does his robe even have pockets? No, it’s actually stored at the top of his staff, a convenient and elegant solution that’s hiding in plain sight.
You never actually see Gandalf pull his pipe out of his staff during the trilogy, but you can see it clearly if you examine stills from the movies; the long, gently sloped shape of the pipe is unmistakable, but you don’t notice it unless you’re looking for it.
The latest person to stumbling upon the pipe staff is Sam Sykes, a fantasy author whose tweet on the subject has attracted over 68,000 likes since it went up on May 15.

There are plenty of other examples of people posting this revelation, particularly on Reddit, where it always attracts a crowd because, well, people can’t believe that they didn’t see it before.
Imagine that Captain America kept a sandwich inside his shield for when Avengering made him hungry. And that you could see it every time the shield appeared onscreen. And that you didn’t notice it until years after you’d seen it in the movies. That’s what this is like.
So enjoy this knowledge, and enjoy dropping it on unaware friends and loved ones. Because the only thing better than learning something like this is being the one to tell other people about it.
