'''Cake''': Cake refers to the buildup of residual carbon that forms in the bowl of a pipe. Most recommend trimming back the buildup to keep it at roughly the width of a dime in a briar pipe in order to create a protective layer which cools the pipe and reduces moisture. Cake is frowned upon in meerschaums, and the subject of much debate among corn cob pipe smokers. | '''Cake''': Cake refers to the buildup of residual carbon that forms in the bowl of a pipe.

'''Calabash''': According to the [[Calabash|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], the calabash is a solid wood interpretation of the gourd calabash with a tapered bowl flared at the rim and a dome shaped top. The tobacco chamber is usually tapered and the pipe 3/4 bent, but there are variations. | |||
'''Canadian''': According to the [[Canadian|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], the canadian is a long-shanked billiard with an oval shank and a tapered bit. The shank is roughly twice as long as the height of the bowl. Variations on this shape include the lumbermand, lovat and liverpool. | |||
'''Casing''': Whether sprayed with or soaked in a sauce, casing refers to the addition of flavoring, sugar or the like prior to the finishing of the tobacco, as opposed to top-flavouring, which is added by spraying the finished blend with scents and flavours. | |||
'''Cherrywood''': According to the [[Cherrywood|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], a cherrywood is a bent poker. The name cherrywood derives from the pipe shape's origin as a copy of the cherry wood pipes made by Eugène-Léon Ropp and others in mid-19th century France. | |||
'''Churchwarden''': According to the [[Churchwarden|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], the churchwarden is the only pipe defined by the shape of its stem, rather than its bowl. Whether bent or straight, the stem on a churchwarden is 9 to 18 inches long, but not so long as to make lighting the pipe while holding it in the mouth impossible. | |||
'''Cut''': Pipe tobacco may be cut as shag, ribbon, flake, plug, rope, discs, coins, or in other forms. These terms simply refer to the manner in which the finished product is reduced into a small enough size to consume. The most common cut is ribbon cut. | |||
'''Cutty''': According to the [[Cutty|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]], a cutty has a very canted tulip shaped bowl and a slightly bent stem with a tapered bit. The word cutty simply means "cut shorter". Cutty pipes occasionally and traditionally sport a "spur", or a small foot protruding from the base of the bowl. | |||
