Smoking Pipe Tobacco: Exposure and Health

Ebauchon is taken from the heart of the burl while plateaux is taken from the outer part of the burl. While both types of blocks can produce pipes of the highest quality, most artisan pipemakers prefer to use plateaux because of their superior graining. A tobacco pipe, often called simply a pipe, is a device specifically made to smoke tobacco.

Spoon pipes (glass pipes or glass bowl pipes) have become increasingly common with the rise of cannabis or other narcotics smoking. Spoon pipes are normally made of borosilicate glass to withstand repeated exposure to high temperatures. They consist of a bowl for packing material into, stem for inhaling, and a carburettor (carb) for controlling suction and airflow into the pipe. First, the user inhales while lighting the smoking material and holding down the carb, allowing smoke to fill the stem.

Pipes that used tobacco have a history that spans most of recorded human history. This singular style churchwarden pipe is made from real cherry wood with a polished finish.

For those of us that failed geometry, that is to say that its walls protrude more from the chamber than those of a Billiard’s, but not as much as an Author, Brandy or Tomato. Traditional Native American peace pipe ceremonies have three people in attendance. The medicine man brings the center of the pipe to the ceremony, and each chief brings either the bowl or the mouthpiece. Without all three parties coming to the meeting there would be no pipe and therefore, no peace. These traditional 3-piece peace pipes are generally NOT for sale by traders; they are sacred ceremonial pipes. The pipes we carry are fully functional Native American ceremonial pipes, NOT peace pipes.

The added “squashing” leads to a very thickly walled bowl, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature in hand while smoking. Light to medium bends are often seen in the shank, and it is quite commonplace to spot one with a white or black bamboo shank extension. Bowl sizes tend to vary on this one, as do the stems, which can range from tapered to saddle to fancy. Being that their shanks are almost always round or oval, however, you really wouldn’t see any with diamond shaped stems. You’d also be hard-pressed to find a factory made Squat Tomato, as they are not practical to cut on a machine.

If you like to leave your pipe in your mouth when you are smoking, while you perform chores or perhaps relax and read a book, you will almost certainly find that bent pipes are the most suitable type for your smoking style. A bent stem will ensure that the bowl is not in your line of sight when performing tasks or reading, which means you can keep this type of pipe in your mouth while doing almost anything. Many different bowl shapes and sizes are available with a bent stem so you should easily be able to find one that matches your aesthetic preferences too.

A Chimney is perfect for those nights after a long, bad day at the shop or office, when you need a good hour or more to regain your sanity and composure. Not too commonly found, Chimneys are usually produced by artisans, not factories, since they are in short demand. Nature is often emulated in human craft, and pipe making is no exception.

Pipe smoking is the practice of tasting (or, less commonly, inhaling) the smoke produced by burning a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, in a pipe. The ash and the last bits of unburned tobacco, known as dottle, should be cleaned out with a suitable pipe tool. A soft or bristle pipe cleaner, which may be moistened with strong spirits, is then run through the airways of the stem and shank to remove any moisture, ash, and other residue before the pipe is allowed to dry.
