Description:
Glass pipes can be very beautiful and the artisans that make them are clearly very talented. Glass pipes work well because they are hollow - which kind of serves as the calabash chamber in my designs. However, glass pipes are undoubtedly fragile and can be difficult to clean. With my wood pipes the calabash chamber serves the same function as being hollow except with easy access it's much easier to clean. Also, wood pipes smoke cooler and taste better because they hold heat more efficiently. In addition, wood pipes are completely natural and don’t pose the risk of toxic gases like their metallic counterparts. As with traditional tobacco pipes, with proper maintenance, my pipes will last forever and will smoke and look great with age.
