A variety of other materials may also be used for pipes. Meerschaum pipes can either be carved from a block of meerschaum, or made from meerschaum dust collected after carving Pipe Tobacco in Bags and mixed with a binder then pressed into a pipe shape. The latter are far less absorbent, color in blotches, and lack the smoking quality of the block carved pipe.

A bowl of pipe tobacco is smaller and smokers don’t inhale as much, so getting an accurate measure of nicotine absorption is difficult. However, a 3-gram bowl of tobacco with 150mg of nicotine can deliver a small amount of nicotine into the bloodstream. A hookah pipe bowl can contain 10–15 grams of tobacco, while most regular pipe bowls hold 1–3 grams of tobacco. Hookah is typically smoked at a hookah lounge or in a social setting, so hookah smokers might only smoke once every few days or once a week. Pipe smokers also smoke infrequently, but many light up a pipe once a day. Smokers don’t tend to inhale pipe smoke as much as cigarette smokers, but some nicotine still reaches the bloodstream after being absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
These can be made from ceramic, glass or even acrylic. Typically, these are often used to store a single variety of tobacco that is simply poured loose into the jar. It has been used since the 17th century and, with clay pipes, represented the most common medium for pipes before the introduction of briar as the material of choice in the 19th century. The word “meerschaum” means “sea foam” in German, alluding to its natural white color and its surprisingly low weight.
Calabash gourds have long made prized pipes, but they are labour-intensive and, today, quite expensive. Because of this expense, pipes with bodies made of wood instead of gourd, but with the same classic shape, are sold as calabashes. Both wood and gourd pipes are functionally the same . They consist of a downward curve that ends with an upcurve where the bowl sits.
This particular example was made in the US by the Pioneer pipe company. First appearing in the late 1960s, these were sold as a cheaper alternative to European-made calabashes. The Vulcanite joiner and fussy bit are distinctive signs of the company’s manufacture. The Peterson My Mixture 965 is a fairly strong english blend, but thanks to the large amount of Cavendish used, it smokes very smooth and painlessly.
Steamed to seal in the flavor and character of the leaf. Exceptionally mild, depth in flavor and delightfully aromatic. This is a mild, air cured tobacco that is a blend of Virginia and burley plants, that is ribbon cut and ready to smoke. My personal favorite and the blend I always keep well stocked, Davidoff’s Scottish Mixture is a testament to the brand’s pursuit of perfection.
