Oriental, typically farmed in Southern Europe and the Middle East, is the most aromatic tobacco of the three. Many modern briar pipes are pre-treated by the manufacturer to resist burning. If smoked correctly, the cake will build up properly on its own. Another technique is to alternate a half-bowl and a full-bowl the first several times the tobacco pipe pipe is used to build an even cake. At La Pipe Rit, you’ll find a large choice of pipe filters, with different diameters (3, 4, 6 or 9mm) that will fit the shank’s piercing.
The process of creating Black Cavendish tobacco takes place at the Scandinavian Tobacco Group Assens operation in Denmark. Pipes are predominantly made from the roots of mature briar trees growing in the Mediterranean. Once the wood is dried over several years, the briar can be manipulated into different shapes, sizes and designs.
The first and most important characteristic is its natural resistance to fire. The burl absorbs water in nature to supply the tree in the dry times and likewise will absorb the moisture that is a byproduct of combustion. Briar is cut from the root burl of the tree heath (Erica arborea), which is native to the rocky and sandy soils of the Mediterranean region. Briar burls are cut into two types of blocks; ebauchon and plateaux. Ebauchon is taken from the heart of the burl while plateaux is taken from the outer part of the burl. While both types of blocks can produce pipes of the highest quality, most artisan pipemakers prefer to use plateaux because of their superior graining.

Boswell is a classic American story that, to this day, embodies quality craftsmanship with a dedication to preserving authentic handmade artistry. This mix of chemicals—not nicotine—is what causes serious disease and death in tobacco users.
The bowl can be made of such materials as clay, corncob, meerschaum (a mineral composed of magnesia, silica, and water), and most importantly, briar-wood, the root of a species of heather. The Filling cut tobacco fuels used to heat waterpipes, including wood cinders and charcoal, produce toxins that contain high levels of carbon monoxide, metals and cancer-causing chemicals. Second-hand smoke from waterpipes is a mixture of tobacco smoke and smoke from the fuel, and therefore poses a serious risk for those inhaling it, especially children.
