Once you've done these dry runs and have a nice, evenly blackened inside of the pipe, carefully clean it (see below). No need to inhale either, which is good because virgin pipes can be awful. So, you're all ready to fire up that new pipe, but wait! Don't just load it up with the hash mix right away! New pipes are often very harsh to smoke, because the wood inside the bowl is getting subjected to this heat for the first time, so if you're smart, you just smoke a couple of bowls of tobacco first, instead of wasting good hash on a pipe that tastes like a fireplace. Watch for proper polishing of the wood, it's a good sign that it's made by good people. Also, remember that a well used pipe will start showing some wear after some years, with a good pipe this ADDS to its appearance. Don't go for the show-off stuff, get the quality. Second of all, you want to think about how GOOD a pipe is, that is, how good a piece of handicraft is it, and does the guy that made it make it to be smoked in or showed off? The two rarely combine for affordable pipes. Chillums are really clean-running, compared to regular pipes, due to the smoke being inhaled directly gives a quick high instead of taking a lot of passing and toking before everyone is comfortable My personal tip is that you get one pipe for yourself to cure and love (no-one touches it but you), and one chillum that you share with your friends. Also, some pipes get soggy and disgusting quickly, or overheat because the walls are too thin.
If you'll be going solo, then you might want something with a small bowl, otherwise you might need something bigger. However, it is still an excellent piece.įirst of all, you need to think about who is going to be smoking the pipe. It can, however, be rough on the lungs, especially if the chillum is of poor design or is poorly maintained. Chillums were originally used spiritually by the Hindus, I believe, and provide a very nice and different way to smoke. It is smoked either as a cigarette straight to the lips, or using one of many special grips to make a bong-effect with the hands. It is basically a cone with a bowl in one end and a hole drilled through. Don't bother with corn pipes, they are considered highly temporary.Ĭhillums are made from many materials, including various sorts of medium to hard wood. Other noteworthy characteristics are how fast the pipe or mouthpiece gets moist, how well placed the hole in the bowl is, and for our purposes if it can comfortably hold a screen. Good pipes are distinguished by an excellent piece of wood without cracks, with a good thickness for its size (the bigger the bowl, the thicker the wood, essential to keep the smoke cool).
If you have a bowl of any other material than wood, making a cure like described here may not apply to you.
Most pipes are made from hard wood types, although there are similar pipes that have a variety of other materials integrated or attached such as stone bowls, various types of plastics for mouthpieces, metal meshes and devices to remove tar. Wooden pipes are available in any style or shape you desire, and is often a beautiful piece of handmade art. Therefore, I'm going to concentrate on smoking hash mixed with tobacco. Go for something in glass if you want a pipe for pot. It will probably give you a harsh smoke, and leave your pipe smelling like an old roach. Smoking weed in a wood pipe is not recommended.
One of the most enjoyable methods of smoking is with a regular wood pipe, because you can cure these pipes to have superior smoking qualities. There are many different styles of smoking cannabis, and more devices to smoke it than you can shake a stick at.
