Why Cmoke A Churchwarden Pipe

 Let us discuss the Churchwarden Pipe a little bit more, its origins, and the different ways you can smoke herbs in it. The Churchwarden Pipe is a long, wooden pipe that has a history dating from sometime in the late 18th to 19th centuries. Churchwarden pipes, while not quite as handy as the average pipe stem, because of their length, really do smoke quite cold -- tobacco takes another route before reaching your mouth. Technically, the pipes are not within consecrated grounds, and Churchwardens are free to smoke however they wish. Its long stem is the primary appeal of a Churchwardens pipe. It is said that one reason for the long stems is because it allows churchwardens to have clearer views, since the smoke from the pipe is farther away and does not interfere with their vision. 

Others claim the added length of the stems allowed church watchmen at night to smoke with the pipe outside of church windows, and a few claim that the name was taken from the opportunity to lay the pipe down on a pew at the church right in front of the smoker. In German, this style of pipe is called the lesepfeife, or reader pipe, apparently because the longer stem allows an unobstructed view of the individual book, while the smoke does not clump up in the eyes of the reader, which allows the person looking down. Churchwardens are also known as reading pipes, because the bowl is kept off ones face, thus allowing a smoker to simultaneously read the book. Tearing in between their reading and smoking, they would read without smoking, or they would smoke without reading. One theory holds that Churchwardens used herbals. Churchwardens smoking a pipe whilst still in the Church grounds. 

These Churchwardens cannot expect to be without smoking for an entire evening, and therefore the churchwardens had pipes made with specially long stems, to prevent the smoke and the pipe from being within sight as they kept their eyes on things. Longer pipes allowed for cooler smoke, but they were also easier to break, so were often thrown out immediately after use. Many clay pieces of Clay Churchwarden pipes have been found by archaeologists, giving rise to a myth that long stems of Clay Churchwarden pipes were, for sanitation purposes, broken by the next patron at a tavern or saloon, who wanted a smoke. Such pipes were extremely popular in Europe as a result of Eastern influences from the 17th century. 

The earliest smoking pipes were found in graves, near the mummies, although whether these pipes were used in religious ceremonies or were just for pleasure is unclear. It is well documented that the Churchwarden pipes smoke a bit colder than the standard pipes, attributed to the additional distance that smoke had to cover in order to move. Our Churchwarden pipes, being of unique construction, typically smoke a cooler smokiness because of the distance that smoke has to travel from the bowl to the mouthpiece of the tobacco pipe.
