INITIATION TO THE WORLD OF THE PIPE

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FIRST PIPE

Connoisseurs believe that pipe smoking is a state of mind. A good pipe is a source of comfort, inspiration, and the pipe is undoubtedly a great friend and companion, it is necessary to do more than inhale and release an aromatic smoke. Pipe smoking is always seen as something elegant and sophisticated, which leads many people to want to do it, pipe smoking is to adopt an idle ritual of relaxation and pleasure, which requires attention, skill and knowledge. Perhaps this is why most people associate the pipe with nobility, sophistication and intellectuality. A pipe has a certain difficulty to smoke. It is necessary to master some artifices, such as filling the bowl, effectively lighting the tobacco, and the rhythm of smoking to keep it lit, and to be able to enjoy the true taste of tobacco.

BOWL: There is the burner, that hole is filled with pipe tobacco.
DRAUGHT HOLE: It is the hole through which the smoke passes and that goes to the cannula.
CANNULA: It is the part that can be separated from the rest of the pipe and is hermetically coupled to the draught hole.
WICK: It is the hidden part once the pipe is assembled. It is the most delicate part since it can break easily.
STEM: It is the end of the cannula that is tightened with the teeth (it is usually made of ebonite, acrylic).
CHUMBER: It is inside the bowl and is where the pipe is loaded and the tobacco burns.
COAL COAT: On the walls of the stove and is produced when smoking.
SHANK: It is the tube through which the smoke passes from the bowl and the pipe to the end of the cannula.
FILTER: It can be smoked with a cooler which is a metal tube, an activated cardboard filter or without anything.

A general rule of thumb observed among veteran pipe smokers is that the size of the bowl of a pipe should perfectly fit the right thumb of its owner. Another important thing: when you smoke a pipe doing something else with your hands, for example, writing, you should give preference to curves and semi-curves. For those who want to smoke while meditating, listening to music or just enjoying the act of the pipe, the pipe should be straight. This is because curved and semi-curved pipes balance better in the mouth without the help of the hand. It is common among users to say that straight pipes are best because they do not allow moisture to accumulate in the various parts, and you will get a smooth, light smoke. There are several aspects to take into account in the pipe, the material (briar, seafoam, corn cob, porcelain, wood …), the shape of the bowl or stem, the angle of connection, the mouthpiece and its perfect adaptation to the mouth of the owner.

Aside from appearance, a pipe must be easy to clean and keep lit and for this we must look at several things:

-All parts must be well aligned, since any part out of place can cause the smoke to travel not so lightly, causing noises and excess humidity.

-Keep in mind that the models with fillers, later on, as the wood ages, will change color.

-Think that metal filters will cause condensation, noise and very humid smoke.

-Varnishes do not have much effect on the quality of your pipe other than to give it a nice shiny and flashy finish.
