The thick chamber and shanked walls make this pipe great for smoking loose tobacco, but the shape will hold up to just about any cut of tobacco. Like the big pool family that Savinellis Petite 402 models fit into, the Cuttle has a conical-shaped chamber, meaning that chamber diameters taper off as the bowl moves further out. While Tankard pipes are a part of the greater Billiard family, the long stem and light weight body of Tankard may sometimes throw off the pipes balance, and will not rest against the rest. The stem is bent the opposite way as the barrel, and sitting atop the barrel, it helps to achieve a good balance when sitting the pipe, as well as giving off a look very similar to gnarled tree branches, which adds to its suitability for its name. 

The tomato pipe may feature any style of stem, but typically -- due to its heavy bowl -- has a curved stem. Because an Apple pipes bowl can be heavier at times, you will typically find an Apple with a bent stem. Its especially long stem is removable to make cleanup easier, and the interior of the bowl is pre-carbonized to protect the wood. Like later Churchwardens, this designation is actually a category for these shapes. 

Churchwarden The name given to the kind of pipes that have long pipes, and there are definitely curved ones. Churchwarden pipes are said to have been named for Churchwardens, who would place long pipes outside the windows of churches to allow them to smoke inside of churches. A Churchwarden is essentially a maintenance man for a church: He looks after the church and overall upkeep. These churchwardens could not expect to be out for an entire night without smoking, so the churchwardens had pipes made with specially long pipes, to ensure smoke and pipes were out of sight while keeping an eye on things. 

Many clay pieces of clay churchwarden pipes have been found by archaeologists, giving rise to a myth that the long stems of clay churchwarden pipes were, for sanitation purposes, broken by the next patron at a tavern or saloon that wanted a smoke. Churchwarden pipes are identifiable by their protruding, long stems, as opposed to most other types of pipes, which may be identified by the form of the bowl and shank. Bill Burney, the originator of the classic Pipe Parts ASP chart, defines Churchwardens as having 9-18-inch stems, with smaller bowls compared to standard shapes. Churchwardens are a curious, nearly unheard-of pipe in Kapp & Petersons catalogue, particularly for a shape that stretches back over more than half the companys history. 

As with so many shapes, the lore of how the churchwarden got its name is one in need of de-mythologizing. Lilley puts his genesis at the earliest style of clay pipe (the tavern pipe), to its introduction by King William II (1650-1702), its first title of the alderman (a councillor in politics), and to its use by the local church officer known in the Church Communion as a churchwarden, who would (a) hang it from the windows of churches to allow him or her to smoke inside churches, or (b) use it to help keep them awake while on security guard duties in the evening. In a future post, I share a tale about the famed Peterson pipe smoker smoking the Churchwarden, documented by a fellow Pete Geek. 

In 1890, after 15 years of working with and fixing many pipes, as well as thinking critically about ways to improve their designs, Peterson filed for, and received, a patent in his name, entitledA Certain New and Useful Improvement to the Pipe-Tobacco, which introduced a unique system designed to draw moisture out of the smoke and provide full tobacco flavors--a design that he would go on to perfect over the next eight years. The Canadian came into being when the pipe maker was handed a unique, long piece of briar, and decided to reversal the short-stemmed pipes he had been thinking of, and extended the bowl of the pool. Take the apple-shaped pipe, slightly condense the bowl, reduce the shank length--usually down to three-quarters the bowl height--keep the cylinder-shaped shank, and add a lengthened, slightly bent stem, and you have a Prince.
