What is a name for a clay tobacco pipe?

I've seen them refered to as "tavern pipes." Supposedly they
were kept in the tavern as a kind of community pipe. Patrons could
use one of these pipes and then break off a piece of the stem
before returning it to the rack. I've also heard that this is not
the reason for the long stem, rather it is for the same purpose as
a briar churchwarden style pipe. Which is of course a cooler
smoking pipe.

Pipe with circumference 6 centimeter and length 20 centimeter and that 10 turns of a wire are wrapped around the pipe. what is the length of the wire?

To find this you need to imagine the pipe slit straight down and
rolled out. At this point what you have is 10 right triangles, with
the base of the triangle being the circumference of the pipe and
the height of the triangle being the height of the pipe divided by
the number of wrappings. The hypotenuse then is the length of one
wrapping. Multiply that number by the number of wrappings and
voila, you have the length of the wire.

Why are pipe cleaners called pipe cleaners?

The "Pipe Cleaners" most often encounter by people, intended for
arts and crafts, are about 12 inches long and made from a plastic
based material for the fluffy parts and wire. Nowadays they are
often referred to as crafting stems or chenille stems. Pipe
cleaners used for cleaning pipes, the smoking apparatus not the
plumbing variety, are closer to 8 inches long and made from one
100% cotton. They are used to clean the soot/ash and moisture from
steam and spittle that accumulates in the pipe's stem and bowl
during smoking. Failure to use a pipe cleaner after smoking can
result in a build up in the pipe that give the smoke a sour taste
as well as clog the pipe's stem.
