They are briars, already beautifully broken in with a nice cake. I don't want to spoil them by using the wrong type of tobacco. How do I tell what type to use?
 
I wouldn't worry about "ruining" them (absent a few notoriously ghosty blends), it may take time with the pipes to figure out what are best matches. Certainly post some pictures!

Yes, do post some pics. Depending on how thick the cake is, I might recommend a little reaming, but can't way until I see the pipes. And don't worry about ruining them with some judicious cleaning, which I'd recommend doing anyway before smoking. With that in mind, are any of these heirlooms or pipes that you really want to preserve as is? If so, we can help with that too.
