I would say anything they could make by hand easily.Just got into pipe smoking, and have been fairly curious as to what pipes,tobacco,and carrying methods would have been used historically,say from the late 1700s to the early 1800s ?
One piece clay pipes predominate, by a lot. Two piece with a clay bowl and a reed stem would be a distant second. Anything else, unless one was very wealthy, would almost be an anomaly.Just got into pipe smoking, and have been fairly curious as to what pipes,tobacco,and carrying methods would have been used historically,say from the late 1700s to the early 1800s ?
Clay pipes are the way to go, stay away from the “basket weave” clay pipes or ones with designs on- just plain old clay pipes from 3” to 24”. As for the tobacco storage, there were tobacco twists that were common, but trying to smoke modern twists are just complicated and don’t taste good. Get some loose tobacco youd be interested in, then in a tin, cloth or leather bag, or parchment paper envelope would be the way to carry it. Be sure to have a pipe tamper as well!Just got into pipe smoking, and have been fairly curious as to what pipes,tobacco,and carrying methods would have been used historically,say from the late 1700s to the early 1800s ?
