A Churchwarden pipe is a tobacco pipe with an exceptionally long stem (200 mm this case).
Typical characteristics:
- Long shank and stem – significantly longer than those of standard pipes.
- Cooler smoke, as the smoke travels a longer distance and cools more effectively before reaching the smoker.
- Relaxed smoking experience, as the pipe does not need to be held directly in front of the face.
- Often associated with leisurely reading or relaxing by the fireplace, which is why it is sometimes referred to as a "reading pipe".
