SC - Gunthar's coronation feast review

[Mike Young]

I have seen many pictures of pipes that were used in Middle-Eastern 
countries from the 10th century forward. By this I mean personal pipes 
as we think of them today, not just the Hooka.  Did they use the 
Tobacco/ dried fruit mixes that are commonly used today, or something 
else?
