How to choose a smoking pipe?

How to choose a smoking pipe?

When it comes to pipe shapes, sizes and styles, there is no shortage. All pipes are good in their own way. The color, shape, material of the mouthpiece have their own characteristics, which is why there are so many pipes. The user must take into account all the components of the tube in order to make his own choice. The pipe is a very personal thing. The most important factors for the buyer are the external characteristics.

Smoke will travel through the pipe and mouthpiece before it reaches the lungs, so the length of the mouthpiece is essential.

The main difference between long and short pipes comes down to smoke temperature. The shorter it is, the warmer the smoke.

In France, very short pipes are called "Brule gueule" or "Mug burner" and are not recommended for beginners. The smoke is so hot that the smoker feels uncomfortable. It is better to start with a medium or long smoking pipe.

Different mouthpieces

What is a good smoking pipe? Definitely one that can last for many years. Much depends on the mouthpiece, which plays a major role. Historically, mouthpieces have been made from real horn or Vulcanite, a material made from sulfur and rubber. Vulcanite is a soft, matte black material. Vulcanite mouthpieces themselves are the best choice for people with sensitive teeth, but over time they gradually become yellowish. This type requires high-quality care and is ready to serve perfectly for many years.

Colorful and rarer: Cumberland. It is an interesting alternative to vulcanite, easily recognizable by its crimson red color with darker notes creating a unique faux wood pattern. Comfortable and soft, also requires care. If you do not take care of your device, it will begin to emit an unpleasant smell, which is not so easy to get rid of.

Today, most pipe manufacturers make acrylic mouthpieces. Some may think of it as ordinary plastic, but acrylic is not a random piece of plastic. It is distinguished by elasticity, brilliance, but most importantly, almost maintenance-free. Such characteristics make acrylic tubes unique.

It is worth noting that two pipes with the same briar can be sold at different prices due to the mouthpiece: vulcanite is much cheaper than acrylic.

Filters

There are a wide variety of filters on the market. Among the most used systems:

  • Metal;
  • Filter 9 mm;
  • Adapter for 9 mm filter.

Initially, in France, all pipes came with a metal filter (standard system). Nowadays more and more pipes come with a 9 mm filter as this is the most effective way to filter out moisture and contaminants (nicotine, tar). These filters provide soft and pleasant smoke. Some tubes come with a hybrid system that allows it to be used with a metal or 9 mm filter.
