'''Oliphant''': A traditional name for a hunter's horn made from an elephant tusk, the oliphant shape was first designed by [[Sixten Ivarsson]] for the [[Pibe-Dan]] shop in the late 1950s. According to the [[Horn|A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts by Bill Burney]]The shape is a variation of the horn meant to resemble the tusk of an elephant, and with a flat curve and even and gradual tapering throughout. | |||
'''Oriental''': Used interchangeably with "Turkish" to refer to sun cured condimental tobaccos grown in the Eastern Mediterranean. This category of tobaccos includes Yenidje, Smyrna, Samsun, Izmir, Drama, Xanthe, and often Basma, which is not a particular leaf but a generic Turkish blend, and all that pipe tobacco blenders are often able to find due to the purchase of most oriental varietals by cigarette manufacturers. | '''Oriental''': Used interchangeably with "Turkish" to refer to sun cured condimental tobaccos grown in the Eastern Mediterranean.
