  Définition

  East Asian metal pipes including the particularly well-known Japanese Kiseru.

  Note :

  The diameter of the bowl is often less than 10 mm. The pipe usually consists of three to four parts; head and stem of metal, central length of tube which in part is thinner and in part considerably thicker than the stem and with a metal part before the mouthpiece of the same length and thickness as the stem. The mouthpiece has a rather characteristic shape. The Kiseru pipes came through the Philippines from the former Spanish possessions in America. They were evidently modelled after the Kalumets.
