Tobacco pipe

Uncommon card · No. 124831

A tobacco pipe, often called simply a pipe, is a device specifically made to smoke tobacco. It comprises, primarily of a combustion chamber (the bowl) for the tobacco, and a (generally) tapering hollow stem, ending in a mouthpiece to draw air into the bowl and thus smoke to the mouth. Pipes can range from very simple and inexpensive models, to highly prized hand-made artisan pieces by renowned pipe makers around the world. Tobacco pipes are often very expensive and sought after collector's items, both by smokers and non-smokers alike, due to the plethora of styles, history, materials and artistic interpretation bound up in a practical object.
