Pipe Smoking

Pipe smoking culture around the world has existed for as long as there has been tobacco available. While the pipe may not have changed, the different types available range from the very simple to the handcrafted collector’s item. Every pipe is divided into a bowl, a shank and a bit. The bowl is the chamber which holds the tobacco to be smoked. The stem or shank ends at the mouthpiece, commonly called a bit.

Preparing the pipe is not for the unskilled. Pipe tools are commonly picks, reamers and tampers. A pick helps to loosen tobacco or empty the pipe. Cleaning is done with a reamer. It’s used to scrape out ash and unburned tobacco from the bowl. While packing the tobacco, a tamper may be used to aid in this process.

The tobacco used in pipes is a variety of selections and blends treated to produce a fine selection of flavors. Pipe tobacco smoking is for the connoisseur: tobacco may be spicy, aromatic or natural. Combinations of leaves grown across continents provide rich variations in style and flavor.
