  1. Mechanics of the vintage pipes The vintage pipes have a historic mechanics and engineering process. The smoke channel, tobacco chamber, draft hole and the slot helps in determining the quality of the pipes that are used for smoking. A good airflow within the smoking pipe is highly necessary for smoking well. Restricted airflow of optimal volume between the bowl and the bottom part results in the best condition for the burn modulation. It allows easy puffing without any effort or undue concentration needed for the smoker. The airflow of the vintage smoking pipeis maintained by achieving the consistent diameter of the pipe. It shows that if the height of the channel of smoke is reduced, the width of the smoke channel must increase. It is ideal to have a constant smoking channel. for good puffs. Are the pipes made up of wood? The majority of the smoking pipes are made up of either meerschaum or briar and on the other hand, the body and the pipe stummel can be made up of any material. Finding the optimum material that is necessary for a comfortable stem and excellent airflow is highly necessary. The pipes that are made up of dried corn cobs are popular. The corn cobs are inserted inside the bowls of the pipes with a wood shank fixed with acrylic stem or plastic. Most of them are made with the help of machines. There are multiple alternatives to briar pipes like oak, fruitwoods, metal, clay as well as ceramic. Currently strawberry and bog oak are popular among the pipe makers and the artisans. They contain an interesting texture and pattern that can be made more attractive by the sandblasting process. The shape of the pipes The vintage smoking pipes are broadly divided into two main categories that are curved and straight. The artisans and the pipe makers can craft them to several other shapes with the help of their experience and art. Many of the early creations of the smoke pipes that were shaped with hand tended to design the shape of the direction of the grain. How to smoke a pipe? A smoking pipe is considered to be a more contemplative pursuit as well as relaxed compared to smoking cigars. Pacing is highly necessary and important for smoking pipes to appreciate the qualities and flavours. Perseverance and patience are the two important factors that determine

  2. how good a smoker is. Mild, unflavored, as well as lightly flavoured tobacco, is good for introduction with a pipe. How to buy smoking pipes? There are two different categories of pipes that are offered to the customers that are estate and new. The estate pipes can either be smoked or unsmoked while the pre-smoked pipes are excellent when sterilized and cleaned with portable alcohol. For cleaning the smoking pipes, a soft or any hard pipe cleaner must be purchased along with sanitizing grain alcohol. An ultrasonic cleaner with warm water is also good for removing the tar and the resin from the smoking pipes. It is always recommended to use a costly pipe for better quality and taste.
