Spoon pipes (glass pipes or glass bowl pipes) have become increasingly common with the rise of cannabis or other narcotics smoking. Spoon pipes are normally made of borosilicate glass to withstand repeated exposure to high temperatures. They consist of a bowl for packing material into, stem for inhaling, and a carburettor (carb) for controlling suction and airflow into the pipe. First, the user inhales while lighting the smoking material and holding down the carb, allowing smoke to fill the stem.
Pipe smoking is the practice of tasting (or, less commonly, inhaling) the smoke produced by burning a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, in a pipe. The ash and the last bits of unburned tobacco, known as dottle, should be cleaned out with a suitable pipe tool. A soft or bristle pipe cleaner, which may be moistened with strong spirits, is then run through the airways of the stem and shank to remove any moisture, ash, and other residue before the pipe is allowed to dry.
A Chimney is perfect for those nights after a long, bad day at the shop or office, when you need a good hour or more to regain your sanity and composure. Not too commonly found, Chimneys are usually produced by artisans, not factories, since they are in short demand. Nature is often emulated in human craft, and pipe making is no exception.
For those of us that failed geometry, that is to say that its walls protrude more from the chamber than those of a Billiard’s, but not as much as an Author, Brandy or Tomato. Traditional Native American peace pipe ceremonies have three people in attendance. The medicine man brings the center of the pipe to the ceremony, and each chief Filling cut tobacco brings either the bowl or the mouthpiece. Without all three parties coming to the meeting there would be no pipe and therefore, no peace. These traditional 3-piece peace pipes are generally NOT for sale by traders; they are sacred ceremonial pipes. The pipes we carry are fully functional Native American ceremonial pipes, NOT peace pipes.

A guiding light throughout The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gandalf perseveres in his mission to thwart Sauron. The purest and wisest of his kind, he was sent from the Undying Lands to aid those who would oppose the Dark Lord, and at the journey’s end, he was the only one who did not bend under Sauron’s might. Grab a large pinch of tobacco — enough that it actually looks like it may not fit.
