In Europe, a wooden pipe in 1650 in Ulm, Germany (Ulm), a pipe manufacturing famous city. Pipe production materials walnut and other trees such as oak, beech, elm, and boxwood, outside metal wrapped to prevent them from overheating. Centuries, many materials have been successfully used to make pipe: water pipe from the Middle East, to the rubber tree foliage; black copper, ivory and ebony, corncob and Missouri meerschaum. Across the Atlantic, the Chinese people have used a variety of materials made of pipes, including water pipe.
from the year 1660 after the British life began to get more money to spare, the British pipe manufacturers began to design and production of complex pipe. First there is the earthen long pipe (Churchwarden), followed by the special shape and material of the pipe. The 18th century, the silver, ceramics, jade, agate and other materials to produce the pipe. To the 18th century until the big pipe materials, silver, porcelain, clay, jade and agate made. Pipe production technology of this period is very good. Pipe, although very beautiful, but most of the pipe is not very useful until the emergence of sepiolite (Meerschaum) pipe manufacturing further. Sepiolite is a white, lightweight ore (mainly produced in Turkey), originally used to carving into ornaments. In the mid-eighteenth century, the artisans of Paris, sepiolite to create the pipe, to the consummate skill, sculpture and all kinds of pipe, a pipe up to 50 pounds or more. Subsequently, the pipe manufacturer in the UK using relatively simple technology to produce a variety of different shapes of the meerschaum, in order to reduce production costs.
history, an intelligent man invented a number of use of tobacco: cigarettes (Cigarette), cigars (the Cigar), Shisha (Hookah), chewing tobacco (Chewing Tobacco), snuff (Snuff) … of course, our protagonist – pipe (Pipe). So, pipe advantages, so that many people fascinated? We know that smoke cigarettes hastily lit Kuangchou while flue gas mixed with the cigarette paper to ignite the aerosol, respiratory tract, has been entered into the alveolar – tar (the Tar) and several other of the countless harmful substances crazy invasion of the body at the same time, nicotine (nicotine) through the mucous membrane of the capillaries into the brain, resulting in calm or excited.

In addition to the generally believed that the reason that smoking a pipe to calm the mind, relieve stress, bring immense joy and pleasure for the pipe off, the answer is: “empty cigarette. This use of tobacco, both absorption of nicotine through the mouth of the capillary, but also the greatest extent possible to avoid damage to the lungs of tar and harmful aerosol.

Thereafter only cigars, and cigarettes is undoubtedly the most modern. Therefore, smoking a pipe to quit cigarettes, has become a lot of the pipe off did not learn the important one of the reasons for smoking a pipe.
the first pipe is simply to plant stems or roots for the material to make, getting after people on the selection of a new attempt, start to appear and a wide range of material
of the pipe, and some animal bones and angular, some with metal (gold, silver, copper, iron, etc.), as well as the selection of various types of stone (sepiolite, limestone, etc.) as well as a variety of wood, of course, Some are made of glass, pottery, porcelain and other materials. Although the material shape of the pipe not the same, but the heather root pipe with its unique thermal performance
best ensure good combustion performance, clear wood and other advantages, the material of choice for the production of pipe.
heather root is recognized in the world the most suitable for the production of the pipe material, heather root as raw material pipe is currently the world most popular varieties of pipe, Western pipe off at the mention of his pipe does not say “My Pipe”, but the pipe is known as the “My Briar. Heather (Briar) grown in the hillsides and cliffs of the Mediterranean coast, the growth is extremely slow. Used in the production of pipe is the depth of the surface of the nodule. Pipe rugged heather root as raw material, wood is fine, beautiful wood grain, ventilation cooling, flame retardant and strong.
as a system of fighting material of heather root nodule at least 15 years, the nodules of age the higher the better the wood, the wood grain more the United States, the price is also more expensive, there are better tobacco combustion quality. Heather root nodules did not ring, but by the grain that age, the more the old wood is more tight, the deeper the color, wood is more dense, beautiful. Old roots, dense texture, porous, light in weight, took small mouth burden more, heat resistance and heat dissipation will naturally be better, not easy to hot tongue, but also make better pay attention to low-temperature combustion of tobacco flavor. Due to the growth of the soil is very barren, a 5-10 pounds in the heather nodule after 30 years or longer to grow into. Such a large nodule can be done about six pipe. Can be found in the root nodules of 350 years old in the 1940s, while the most rare of heather only a hundred, even aged 50-75 years old heather root have become treasures, usually heather root pipe are nodule of about 15 years old. heather root
France, Corsica (Corsica) is the first to be discovered and used as a system of fighting material; Italy heather mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Sicily, the best quality, generally for domestic production of pipe, and rarely as a raw material exports; Greece is the world heather root exporting country; the 1960s, Algeria is a French colony, a large number of French exploitation of heather root resources, after independence, to prohibit the heather root nodule exports; Morocco is now the main raw material supplier of pipe production industry in France.
heather root by cleaning, screening before its cracks and flaws. Heather root cut into a brick box in the earth buried three. After the cut pipe is bad, and then in the water “boiled clear 12-24 hours, then dry for six months, the last old growth arbor storage Chen for several years, this can make the pipe blank, however, pipe production artisans hands-on production of pipe, but also these billets with special oil for cooking 12 hours to completely remove any potential odor, making the maximum guarantee of pipe smoking quality. Several processes down, the loss of heather root is quite high. But cut into the pipe blanks, as well as between the polarization. The entire pattern in a pile of Pizi beautiful and uniform texture, fullness will be used to build a very expensive pipe, while the remaining general. Careful observation is not difficult to find, generally, the pipe can always find something wrong. Material defects repaired with resin putty seems to sell is not missed. This very popular, but people really appreciate the pipe does not accept it. The reason is very simple pipe problems can not be intact to enjoy the smoking. Some pipes have a slight pits, some scarred hiding in the interface difficult to find. A top pipe pattern is complete and flawless quality of heather root blank hand-finished.

Sepiolite texture, light, flame-retardant and heat insulation, sepiolite uniform soft, delicate texture, general for pipe, Smokeless hand-engraved relief. Relief subjects of election myths of ancient Greece and Rome, but also to have animals, but due to the sake of the sepiolite pores, the pipe to use for a long time evenly smoke oil seepage into the pipe surface, into a deep mahogany brown. If you use this perennial meerschaum smoking with a tobacco, to ensure the exudation smoke oil color is always consistent. Produced meerschaum famous place is Italy, the Wali Xi River Basin, where the superb craftsmanship of pipe division, but unfortunately quickly lost. The world most high-quality sepiolite produced E Siji color Hill (Eskisehir), Turkey and Central. In addition, Tanzania is also produced. In recent years, China has also found that the sepiolite mine, but because of its lack of awareness, mainly for industrial raw materials, rather than pipe production.
corncob pipe from the raw materials of history should be the existing raw materials for making pipe the longest. Some research said initial production and use of Indian style pipe is made of corn cob.
It is an American pipe, use corncob, air-dried for about two years time, and then by other processes, and finally on the gum made. A cob is usually made of two pipes. Corncob In addition to the light, porous excellent heat outside, but also has a sweet taste and feel the unique characteristics of smoking. However corncob pipe has a big drawback, is using a little longer, it is easy to scorch, so that the taste of inhaled smoke. But the low price (China production of corn-cob pipe, and each cost about 40 yuan).
Hai Liu: strong>, Liu Hai is not a plant but a marine organisms belonging to the Division of coelenterazine, the scientific name of black coral.

Pipe like a wife, once additions, durable, enjoy after, but also to worry about comfort about it, and to carefully take care of it life. A standard length of 8cm cigarettes, the combustion speed of about 8 minutes, and a bucket of time occupied by the Virginia tobacco, it takes 30-40 minutes. If you do not have more than 30 minutes, then I sorry, you are not a qualified pipe off.
