Note

"Chibouk" were developed in the Ottoman Empire and were mold-made in red-firing clays but consisted solely of bowls to which were added smoking stems made of wood or reed. They are often described as “stub-stemmed.” This style could have been adopted by different parts of the world through trading contacts.
