[Sherlock can identify sentiment when he sees it. Of course. He may not always understand the cause of it, but sometimes he can-- cutting the wife out of a picture, giving away a gift. This, though... It's sentiment of some kind.
He's trying to make some sort of point. Even if Sherlock can't quite deduce what it is.
John is the doctor. The one with all the objections to smoking.
Sherlock does retrieve a book of matches from his pocket. More useful than a lighter, he's found. Much more manoeuvrable, which makes them much more suitable for a variety of situations. He doesn't hand them over yet, though, just watching John.]
These are poor quality. Hardly what someone should start with.
