Mycroft Holmes, gives a cigarette to Sherlock and says "Merry Christmas". Then in the following scene, Dr. Watson asks Mycroft if he gave the cigarette to Sherlock.
So, it seems to me that the cigarette has some significance. Although it might also seem like Sherlock was just suffering from the supposed loss of Irene Adler, and his brother just thought the nicotine patches weren't good enough to help him relax.
Any thoughts?
Answer
When Sherlock says "This is low tar", Mycroft replies "Well, you barely knew her". This reenforces the idea that the cigarette is a way of coping with the loss - he didn't know her that well, so he doesn't need a strong cigarette.
