Tobacco Pipe

Smoking a tobacco pipe is a time-honored ritual and many smokers wouldn’t trade their smoking for anything. There are three main types of pipe: the briar, meerschaum, and corn cob. There are endless variations on these basic themes.

Each tobacco pipe is different and will smoke differently depending on the smoker and his or her preferences. The briar pipe is the most popular pipe among smokers. It is made from the burl of the Erica Arborea tree.

A meerschaum tobacco pipe is made from meerschaum – a mineral most commonly found in Turkey. It’s soft and malleable – easily shaped into different styles. Its chemical composition is magnesium silicate and is derived from the remnants of ancient sea shells. The corn cob pipe is inexpensive and versatile.
