'''Reaming''': Trimming back cake from the bowl of a tobacco pipe.
'''Reamer''':  A tool used to trim pipe cake back to an acceptable level.  These have been made in countless different forms, adjustable and non-adjustable, for well over a century.  Some simply use a pipe knife or sandpaper to accomplish the same task.
'''Rhodesian''':  A subject of great dispute.  Unlikely to have been named for Cecil Rhodes, and more likely to have taken its name from Rhodesian tobacco, a Rhodesian is considered by some to be any bent bulldog, by others to be any bulldog with a round shank, and by others any bulldog shape with a greater bowl width than height.  For each accepted definition of the word there is a pipe sold which contradicts it, and no consensus is likely.
