'''Fire Cured''': Unlike flue cured tobacco, which is cured by indirect heat without smoke, fire cured tobacco is cured with smoke, in the tobacco equivalent of barbecuing. Dark Fired Kentucky and Latakia are both fire cured, and the process results in lower sugars and higher nicotine in the leaf. | |||
'''Flake''': Flake tobacco is made by slicing thin sheets off of a cube, which in turn is formed by pressing whole tobacco leaves into a compressed form, usually under significant pressure for long periods of time. Flake tobacco may be sold in slices, or fully or partially broken or rubbed out. | '''Flake''': Flake tobacco is made by slicing thin sheets off of a cube, which in turn is formed by pressing whole tobacco leaves into a compressed form, usually under significant pressure for long periods of time.

'''Flue Cured''': Flue cured tobacco is cured by heat without smoke, generally by being hung from sticks in a barn exposed to heat from external fires through flues. Traditionally the method for curing brightleaf tobacco, this method results in sweeter leaf with lower nicotine. | |||
'''Foot''': The bottom of the outside of the bowl, as opposed to the heel, which is the bottom of the inside of the bowl. | |||
'''Freehand''': Not to be confused with the fixed freehand shapes made by some companies, a true freehand shape is defined by the pipemaker's choice to let the grain of the briar shape the pipe, rather than forcing the pipe into a predetermined shape, according to the [[Freehand|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]]. | |||
