Beginner's Guide to Smoking a Wooden Pipe
The wood pipe is a classic smoking device that has been around for decades. It was first used by Native Americans who would use different plants in the pipes to make them taste better. Nowadays, people still smoke weed out of wood pipes but they also use all sorts of different herbs as well, from tobacco to marijuana and more!
Wooden pipes are handmade from exotic woods.
-
Handmade from exotic woods, wooden pipes are a more expensive option compared to plastic or metal. However, the price is worth it for those who want something unique and durable.
-
There are many different types of exotic wood that can be used to make a pipe, including bamboo, cherry, sassafras, and mulberry. Each type has its own characteristics and benefits based on the specific elements it was grown (such as soil or climate). For example, bamboo has a high resistance to pests and rot. Ebony trees grow in tropical regions where they're naturally resistant to insects like termites and ants, so they make another popular choice for pipe construction material because they grow quickly while still maintaining their durability over time!
The advantages of using wooden pipes.
-
Wooden pipes are more durable than glass ones. You might accidentally drop your new wooden pipe on the floor and not have to worry about cracking it into tiny pieces (although this isn't guaranteed). Wooden pipes also cost less than most non-wooden smoking devices because they can be made with fewer parts (for example, no dishwasher) which lowers manufacturing costs considerably. Lastly, these pipes are lighter than most other kinds of smoking equipment; you'll probably forget how much weight was added onto yourself after using something like an e-cigarette (or even worse: cigarettes).
-
Wooden pipes are made of renewable resources, they are environmentally friendly.
-
Wooden pipes are lighter than glass pipes. They are very convenient to carry anywhere.

How to clean your wooden pipe?
Once you've finished smoking your pipe, it's important to clean it as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more resin will build up in the wood and other materials used to make your pipe—and cleaning them later will be much more difficult. A clean pipe will produce better hits and last longer than one that isn't clean. Besides, resin buildup can prevent airflow and make the pipe difficult to use. Resin buildup also makes it harder for smoke to pass through the pipe and into your lungs, so it's important that you keep it cleaned out regularly. To clean your wooden pipe, there are a number of methods you can use:
-
First, remove any ashes from the inside of the bowl with a metal tool (like an old toothbrush) and then use a brush to clean it out completely. As you smoke, the resin will build up in the airhole. You can use a toothpick or pipe cleaner to remove it by inserting the object into the airhole, then gently twirling it around and pulling out the resin in small pieces. I recommend working from top to bottom so that you don't accidentally pull out any shisha while doing so.
-
Second, run hot water through the entire pipe; this will flush out any remaining residue from previous smokes. Or you can use alcohol, which is more efficient at removing oils and is great at killing germs and bacteria.
-
Next, use a pipe cleaner tool or brush to wipe down the interior of your wooden pipe and its exterior and rim when possible. You can just soak your wooden pipe in water and make it completely submerged so that all parts get cleaned at once.
-
Once empty, dry off any moisture with paper towels or cloths before putting it away for storage or another smoke session!
How to maintain/preserve a wooden pipe?
-
After each use, thoroughly clean your wooden pipe and let it dry completely. Prolonged moisture can rot the wood
-
Store it somewhere cool and dark until next time. Because exposure to the sun tends to make the wood crack.
