The Expert Guide to Pipe Smoking
No one really knows why men smoke. Yet long before the discovery of tobacco, smoking had become the abiding joy of many peoples. Since tobacco's discovery, smoking has truly become one of mankind's most pleasurable pastimes.
The modern smoker has three means of enjoying this universal practice: through cigarettes, cigars, and the pipe. And of these three, the pipe gives the smoker lasting pleasure and the greatest solace.
We are all aware that the pipe smoker belongs to a breed apart from other men. His pleasures are contemplation and relaxation; he does not rush, he is not nervous.

The Art and Science of Pipe Smoking
Smoking a pipe is such a common custom today that we tend to forget it is both an art and a science developed over four centuries.It is an art in that a pipe is smoked for pleasure and pleasure only. It is a science in that the pipe bowl is a small furnace which, like any other furnace, must be properly fueled, fired, and cleaned in order to operate at its best. Unless these techniques are mastered, the smoker will find little joy in the use of his pipe.
Smoking in its earliest days was recognized as an art, and no man was considered a gentleman until he could smoke properly. Tutors and professors of smoking appeared on the scene, who, for a price, would teach the novice the fundamentals and mysteries of the art. The complete course began with a history of smoking, and included the technique of inhaling through the nose. The course ended when the student had mastered the skill of blowing smoke rings in the air.
The gentleman of fashion smoked at all times and at all places, in the theater as well as on the street. He carried in his pockets a complete smoking kit-a tobacco box, a pair of tongs for lighting his pipe with a burning coal, and a tobacco stopper for pressing the fired leaves firmly into his pipe bowl-all elaborately wrought of expensive materials. His pipe, however, was the same clay pipe smoked by common laborers and poor men in general.
Perhaps the most interesting time for the avid pipe smoker came at this time.

The Pipe Smoking as a Hobby
Collecting pipes is an old and established pastime. Men were collecting pipes when postage stamps had not as yet been invented. Indeed, the requirements of pipe collecting are among the simplest of any hobby: any smoker can be said to have a pipe collection if he has more than one pipe.A pipe collection need not be large, nor must it consist only of expensive pipes. While, admittedly, a hand-carved meerschaum may cost hundreds of dollars, a plain, three-dollar briar possessing special personal meaning to the smoker certainly deserves equal respect as part of his collection.
Collecting pipes differs from collecting stamps, coins, or similar objects in that the pipes can always be used. The hobbyist's pipes serve a double purpose, since they are both items of special interest and instruments capable of providing an enjoyable smoke.
Most interested pipe smokers become collectors sooner or later and this is why?

- Calabash pipes became popular because they are beautiful and of an unusual shape. The calabash gourd makes an ideal pipe because of its light weight, its large air space, which yields a cool smoke, and its tendency to color well.
- The Indian or Water Pipe
- This water pipe, also known as the narghile, a word that means coconut shell, was often fitted with a pair of reed or bamboo tubes, one to hold the burning tobacco and the other to draw the smoke through.
