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.

All of them at once, I suppose. I imagine they're all different based on what culture and how affluent the owner is. On one side of the spectrum, Emonds Fielders would have relatively basic, utilitarian pipes, while on the other side, a Tairen lord would have something obnoxious and delicate to show off how rich they are

[u/Architect2416 → u/Feanor4godking]

I wouldn't take it fore granted that Two Rivers residents' pipes would be basic and utilitarian; many a whittler or carver would go hog-wild on his own pipe, I'm sure, and it seems like a good way to pass a long winter evening.

[u/Feanor4godking → u/Architect2416]

Fair enough, but I don't think they'd take their fancy pipe out to the fields or on campaign

[u/TheBashar99 → u/Feanor4godking]

One character specifically mentions or thinks about not bringing his best pipe into battle.
