'''Captain Warren''': According to various sources | '''Captain Warren''': According to various sources, the Captain Warren is a distinct pipe shape - a hybrid between a hawkbill and a cherrywood shape, with a rounded heel that extends at least half as much below the point of where the shank meets the bowl as the upper half. It has an underbore system (or double chimney), where the draught hole opens into a lower chamber below a screw-in bowl. The shank is roughly as long as the stem. The shape is clearly defined in the 1895 Harrod's catalogue, under Cigars, Cigarettes, and Tobacco Department, on page 136. The shape is also included in the Gisclon pipe factory catalogue (Lille, France) in 1870. The name's origins are unclear, though some speculation has placed the name as possibly referring to the English archaeologist Charles Warren, who carried out excavations in Jerusalem during that period. However, a British Navy Captain Warren who came up with a new design for a cooking stove, where a separate inner chamber cooked the food, surrounded by a steam chamber, called "Captain Warren's System of Cooking" may have had a part in the naming of pipe type, described in the Nautical Magazine and Naval Chronicle, in March, 1868. | ||
