Clay Pipes From Florida

[Hal Gorges]

These clay tube pipes were recovered from a shell midden along the St.Johns river on the East coast of florida. The first one is 3” long and is from the fiber tempered period. I’m not sure about the second one, but I’m thinking same thing...You’re guess as to what they were smokin is as good as mine.

Whatever they were smoking I'm sure didn't have all the chemicals, ect... that tobacco companies use today 🙂
