Packing

Fill the herbs pinch-by-pinch into the packing chamber. The herbs should be loosely packed at the bottom of the chamber and more tightly towards the top. It shouldn’t be packed so tightly that you can’t draw without great resistance!

Cleaning

After cooling down, remaining ash should be removed and the pipe should be cleaned regularly with a pipe cleaner. This allows the wood to dry and the pipe to breathe.

Stem

Should the stem become too tight, you can apply unperfumed soap or a bit of graphite to the tenon. The tenon could become tight if stored in too damp a location or without periods of rest. Residue on the tenon or at the tenon connector can be removed carefully with fine sandpaper.

Resting Periods and Dry Phases

After finishing a pipe, you must allow it to cool down and dry before packing it again! If you want to smoke many bowls, we recommend picking up a second pipe! That way you can give your favorite pipe a day of rest – it’ll thank you for it.

Tips for Beginners

When smoking, you don’t need to directly inhale the vapor! After packing the pipe, light the herbs and draw on it for as long as it takes for enough smoke to fill your mouth. Now you can put the pipe aside and inhale the vapor! In this way the vapor becomes more mild and it is easier to dose the amount of vapor.
