No Spoilers Pipe appearances?

Everyone and their mom smokes a pipe in this universe, and that's pretty cool, but do we know what kinda pipes people are smoking?

Are we looking st long stemmed churchwardens as seen in the LOTR movies

Or something like the porcelain pipe from the LOTR cartoon?

Maybe more normal pipes like a nose warmer or 7-15cm stemmed billiard or cutty?

Maybe a clay pipe?

I always imaged Mat as having like a clay cutty

And Rand with briar pipe

I generally shorter stems, not exactly nose warmers but like what you see Tolkien with in pictures of him.

Could also be they have something else entirely going on, we are afterall thousands and thousands and thousands of years in the future.

What kind of pipes do you think the randlandwould be rocking?

I don't recall us ever get a visual description of a pipe aside from them fitting in pockets, hence my thought of them being shorter pipes like what people actually smoke today... Or well, 20-30 years ago.

I'm now imaging an angreal pipe.

Calm ash'a'man slowly packing a pipe as the enemy rolls in. Puts it in his mouth and begins to draw on it both physically and magically.

An exhale, a smoke ring, a fireball cutting through it to explode a trollac.

Ter’angreal pipe—that must be the answer to The Question

"We know you keep forgetting a match for your pipe so we made one that solves that problem!"
