BL Ceramic Pipe Bowl S for the Zippsy
The Zippsy is a traditional Moroccan pipe, originally handmade from olive wood and used for centuries to smoke herbs and hash. The bowl, the part that holds your herb, is a separate, replaceable component on the Zippsy. Black Leaf, a brand that has produced smoking accessories in various materials for years, makes this bowl from ceramic. Ceramic is one of the oldest materials used for pipe bowls and is known for its neutral, clean flavour: the material itself adds no aftertaste, so the flavour of your herb comes through fully.
Use and maintenance
You simply place the bowl into the designated opening of your Zippsy pipe; the S size matches the pipe's standard 7 mm hole. Because ceramic is a breakable material, this bowl deserves a little more care than a metal version: avoid dropping it, and clean it with a soft brush or a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Regular cleaning keeps airflow optimal and prevents a burnt aftertaste. If the bowl wears out or breaks over time, you only need to replace this one part, without having to replace the rest of your Zippsy pipe.
The Zippsy has become a familiar sight in European headshops in recent years, thanks to its compact size and traditional, authentic look. Black Leaf caters to this with replacement bowls in several materials, so you can choose between flavour, weight and durability.
