The overall length of the stem is said to ensure a pleasant cool smoke, which is particularly suitable for an evenings relaxation. It really should fall into the same category as the Peterson 'House Pipes' which are basically for confinement to house use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Elizabethan times the pipes were made from clay and were graceful with thin bowls and long stems. The Dutch redesigned these clays by enlarging the bowl and lengthening the stem and came to be known as the Alderman and was officially introduced by William II around 1700. The Alderman was adopted by the English and was graced with a curve to the stem and called \"Yard of Clay\" or \"Churchwarden\" as it's better known as today. The purpose of the long stem was to allow the smoker to rest his hand and bowl on the arm of the chair, the small knob on the bottom of the bowl was to stop the hot clay bowl from burning the chair arm, the knob reputedly for he benefit of the pipe maker, became more of an aesthetic part of the shorter pipes rather than a requirement in later times. This same style can be seen in many of Petersons early Patent pipes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peterson of Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52997459509560,"sku":"cfg1789869884259","price":80.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/5480\/2488\/files\/peterson-of-dublin-churchwarden-briar-smoking-pipe---d17-green_1.jpg?v=1789869888","url":"https:\/\/sailingclubfit.shop\/products\/peterson-of-dublin-churchwarden-briar-smoking-pipe-d17-green","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
