Rich with Latakia, spiced with the finest Oriental leaf, mellowed with stoved Virginia and aged into a deeply satisfying blend of the world’s most exotic tobaccos. Three deliciously different cherry flavors-refreshing Duke, fermented Maraschino and rich Kansas Sweet-grace this balanced blend of lemon Virginia and Black Cavendish. A lightly toasted Cavendish good for the novice smoker and for the smoker who prefers a light sweet taste. A mellow Cavendish, flavored by vanilla which is pressed into the leaf and left pressed for several days. Virginias and our soft, cut-cake Burley Cavendish in a blend that has the mellow and nutty aroma of roasted Hazelnuts and a flavor to match.
In addition to aficionados, reproductions of historical clay styles are used by some historical re-enactors. Clay pipes were once very popular in Ireland, where they were called
dudeens. Calabash gourds (usually with meerschaum or porcelain bowls set inside them) have long made prized pipes, but they are labour-intensive and, today, quite expensive. Because of this expense, pipes with bodies made of wood (usually mahogany) instead of gourd, but with the same classic shape, are sold as calabashes. Both wood and gourd pipes are functionally the same (with the important exception that the dried gourd, usually being noticeably lighter, sits more comfortably in the mouth).
Matches, or separately lit slivers of wood are often considered preferable to lighters because of lower burning temperature. Butane lighters made specifically for pipes
emit flame sideways or Pipe Tobacco at an angle to make it easier to direct flame into the bowl. Torch-style lighters should never be used to light a pipe because their flames are too hot and can char the rim of the pipe bowl.
