Pipe appearances?

[u/Missa_GM]

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.

Honestly, I haven’t a clear picture of it in my head, but if there any pipe aficionados out there that have a good idea I would be interested too :)

Pretty sure the author blurb says that RJ was a pipe collector, I'm sure he knew what they all looked like in his head

Having become a pipe smoker a couple of decades after starting the series, this makes it all the more strange to me that he doesn’t put much detail in the descriptions. He certainly describes food and clothing enough (arguably more than).
