I looked around The Patch & couldn't find a list of "Pipe Abbreviations" like I've seen on other forums.
So I compiled lists found on Brothers of Briar, Pipes Magazine, Pipe Smokers Forum & I added a few as well from some commonly asked about abbreviations I've seen.
I alphabetized it on textfixer.com, edited duplicates on Wordpad & put things into this list. I hope this helps out any FNG's or even FOG's who might need it.
If I missed some tobaccos, pipe makes or pipe makers .... it was not intentional, feel free to add anything you think might be helpful.
