Glass Hand Pipes 101: A Timeless Classic
While they may seem simple,
hand pipes have a rich history, with designs that have remained largely unchanged since at least 500 BC, when they were used for smoking herbs and tobacco. Due to their small size and approachable design, a glass hand pipe often serves as many smokers’ first piece. They are also a convenient choice because they require less maintenance and are easy to clean. Generally, these pipes are designed for dry smoke with no water diffusion, though there are exceptions.
Every glass hand pipe is made up of a few basic parts: the bowl, where your herb is packed; the carb, a small hole that allows you to control the smoke build-up; and the mouthpiece, where you inhale. To use a hand pipe, you simply pack the bowl chamber, cover the carb with your finger, ignite your material, inhale, and remove your finger from the carb to clear the smoke.
Types of Glass Hand Pipes
When you’re ready to explore styles, you’ll find that
Spoons are the most common and recognizable type, known for their simple, linear design. A wide variety of spoons, from basic shapes to intricate artistic pieces (like a stunning owl-shaped pipe), are available to buy online.
Another popular style is the Sherlock, which is shaped like a saxophone and was fashioned after the old-timey pipe a famous detective would puff on. The curve on this vintage-inspired pipe allows for more cooling time before the smoke is inhaled. There are other famous shapes as well, such as the long and thin Gandalf pipe.
