Dieu Cay
A bamboo pipe for smoking tobacco. It is said to be one of the typical traits of the lifestyle in northern Vietnam. To make a dieu cay, a piece of bamboo pipe up to 0.5 meters in length with an opening at one end is required. A smaller wooden pipe is fixed at the other end and it is here that the tobacco is placed. A smoker begins by rolling a small amount of tobacco into his hand before placing it into the small wooden pipe. He then lifts the open end of the bamboo pipe to his mouth and lights the tobacco. During smoking, one can hear a merry noise inside the bamboo pipe. This is caused by the water contained inside the pipe that is used to filter the smoke.
