Smokers' Haven UNSMOKED Volcano/ 360 Ring Grain/ Handmade, U.S.A.

In 1940, in Columbus, Ohio Smokers' Haven was opened by its founder Joseph Zieve, his wife Ina, and his brother in-law Sid Ritter. Joe and Sid were pioneers in the Retail market of pipes and tobaccos, and established a real Specialty Tobacco shop. From 1940 until the late 1970's, Smokers' Haven was one of the largest and most distinguished Pipe and Tobacco shops in the world with an inventory of over 10,000 English pipes and a range of some of the best Pipe Tobacco Blends.

UNSMOKED! Here is a smaller Smoker’s Haven Volcano shaped pipe with a delightfully delicate blast revealing plenty of ring grain. This graining is indicative of a sweet & dry smoking instrument. Draft hole is center and above the bottom of the chamber. There is an effortless draw. Pipe does not accept a filter. Pipe weighs only a mere 1. 73 ounces (49.1 grams). No fills. No handling marks. Pipe passes a cleaner with ease.

Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:

“When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood …  have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128
