Wooden Pipe from India
This compact pipe is hand-carved in India, giving it an ornamental, decorative pattern in the wood. Because the carving is done by hand, the pattern differs slightly from piece to piece: no two pipes are exactly alike. At 7.5 cm long, the pipe is small enough to carry in a coat pocket or bag without drawing attention.
The pipe is a single piece: the bowl and mouthpiece are carved from one block of wood, with no loose parts that can get lost. That makes it simple to use, though it also means you cannot take the bowl apart to clean it the way you can with a multi-piece pipe.
Use and maintenance
Fill the bowl with a small amount of smoking herb, light it and draw gently through the mouthpiece. Clean the airway after use with a pipe cleaner or cotton swab to prevent build-up, which keeps the draw smooth. Wood does not cope well with prolonged moisture, so avoid water or harsh cleaning products and let the pipe dry fully before using or storing it again.
