spacer A churchwarden pipe is a tobacco pipe with a long stem. Churchwarden pipes come in a variety of sizes, but can be as long as 16 inches or 40 cm. Churchwarden pipe generally produce a cooler smoke due to the distance smoke must travel from the bowl to the mouthpiece. They have the added benefit of keeping the users face further away from the heat and smoke produced by combustion in the bowl. Unfortunately, they also break more easily since more pressure is placed on the tenon when the pipe is supported around the mouthpiece. The style is referred to as "Lesepfeife" or "reading pipe," in German, presumably because the longer stem allowed an unimpeded view of one's book.
