Classic smoking instrument

Wooden pipes are the classic among smoking instruments. Pipes have been used for smoking tobacco and herbs for centuries. The first raw materials used to make pipes were, of course, natural resources such as wood, clay, and soapstone. Wood is considerably harder than the latter two materials. Therefore, wooden pipes are significantly more robust, stable, and less fragile than pipes made of clay or soapstone. This makes wooden pipes extremely durable and offers many hours of shared enjoyment.

Development of taste

This longevity also makes smoking over time something very special, because the wood changes with each smoke. The flavors and traces of the different tobaccos and herbs smoked are absorbed by the wood. For this reason, you shouldn't clean your wooden pipe too vigorously. The true pleasure of smoking is experienced with a well-smoked wooden pipe and its very own personal taste.

Types of wood

Wooden pipes can be made from the following woods: walnut, olive, rosewood, ebony, pear, and briar. Briar has been increasingly used in wooden pipe making since the end of the 19th century. This is because briar pipes do not heat up as much during smoking. This allows the smoker to easily touch and hold the pipe bowl without any risk of burns. Another advantage is that the embers in briar models last longer than those made with other wood types. Briar wooden pipes therefore score highly for their fire and heat resistance.
