'''Aromatic''':  A type of tobacco which is either cased or top flavored in order to produce a taste and room note other than the tobacco's natural smell, whether simply sugar or molasses, whiskey or other alcohols, or many other flavorings.  Used as a major category for pipe tobaccos, along with non-aromatic and latakia based blends.

'''Army Mount''':  Also called a "military bit", a pipe with an army mount stem is designed to permit the stem to be removed from the pipe while hot by inclusion of a shank cap, often made of silver, to reinforce the briar.  A more elaborate variation of the army mount is the spigot.  According to most likely mythological history, the first army mount was invented when a World War One soldier fixed a broken pipe shank by inserting a spent rifle casing into it and piercing a hole for the stem.

'''Delayed Gratification Technique''':  Or DGT, the habit of some pipe smokers to light a pipe and leave it to sit for hours or even days before completing the smoke.  Many blends gain a far different taste profile from this technique which some find pleasant.

'''Delphin''':  A variation on the Ulmer pipe where the shank runs directly up the back of the bowl and there is no gap between the bowl and the shank.


'''Delrin''':  A brand name for polyoxymethylne or POM, also called acetal, polyacetal, or polyformaldehyde, delrin is a thermoplastic used by pipe makers as a material for non-integral stem tenons, and for screw-in tenons for meerschaum push/pull connections.  Delrin is appreciated as a "self-lubricating" material, meaning that it has a low drag coefficient to interfere with the smooth passage of smoke, and for the ease of reliance on separate stems and tenons.

'''Gourd Calabash''':  According to the [[Gourd Calabash|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], a gourd calabash is a pipe made from a calabash gourd which is dried and the seeds removed, and then fitted with a stem and meerschaum bowl cap.  The driest and smoothest of all pipes.

'''Gravity Fill Method''':  Also called the Three Step Method, this is the method of packing a pipe most often taught to new smokers, and involves drizzling enough tobacco into the bowl to cover the heel, tamping very lightly, followed by drizzling tobacco to the rim twice and tamping after each time, with more pressure the on the last.
