I have been interested in Asian cultures (or different cultures period for that matter) for a long time. During a research session i discovered a pipe called a Kiseru ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiseru ), which is a Japanese pipe often made my putting two small metal pieces at either end of a bamboo shaft. They come in a wide range of lengths (which peaked my interest because i love churchwardens). The bowls on them are commonly very small and the tobacco meant to be used, called Kizami, is very fine (almost looks like hair). Anyone have any experience with these pipes, and if so what was your experience like?
