Exactly, those pipes are made of lüle stone. Sorry for my forgetting. I'll
ask for origin of name of that town for this e-group.

Hi Sig,

I read that Luleburgaz took its name from 'lule' meaning pipe (in
Turkish?), because there are many pipe-workshops in this city. It was
in the past apparently also simply called 'Birgos' instead of
Lule-burgaz.

cheers
