Do you smoke? If you do, how do you like to smoke? Many people enjoy smoking with the use of pipes. Some use glass pipes, vaporizers, metal pipes, wood pipes, hookahs, glass on glass bubblers, or many other types. But what are really the best ways to smoke your tobacco? Here are some of the most popular choices.
Glass pipe or bubbler. The main benefits of this type of equipment is that it is quick and easy to use, has a classy look, and is convenient even for small groups of tobacco smokers. Glass pipes and bubblers come in different colors, which add to their character and makes them even more attractive for many smokers. However, glass blown pipes are easy to break. So if you want to smoke in large groups, it might be better use wooden or metal pipes, which are much more difficult to break and cheaper to repair or replace.
Hookahs. A hookah is like a water pipe that dilutes smoke. Its users say it provides a smoother smoke than other types of pipe. With a hookah, a large group of people may smoke all at once making it a more social experience. The down side is that a hookah is very large making it inconvenient to store and even more inconvenient to try to travel with.
Wooden pipes. This type usually has different designs that make it more interesting to hold. The basic models of wooden pipe are comparatively inexpensive. However there are some that are quite expensive, especially if the designs are complex and the pipes are made of good wood. One of the most interesting things about these pipes is the types of wood they are made of. Most wooden pipe makers will use wood from mango tress, rose wood, shisham wood, and other similar types. Using these types of wood will give a wooden pipe a natural, warm touch. They also come in different sizes, from discrete pocket sized pipes to traditional longer ones. Fans of wooden pipes claim they give the smoke a smooth flavor and a nice hit every time you smoke.
Glass water pipes. Water pipes have been around for many years already. In fact, they were used by indigenous people in Asia and Africa centuries ago. If you use water pipes, you will see the smoke pass through the body of the pipe, after being filtered through a pool of water at the bottom. Like bubblers, fans of water pipes feel they provide a smoother smoke. This type of pipe can be easily purchased from supply shops or stores that sell charcoal, accessories, and different kinds of tobacco.
Whatever style of pipe you use for smoking, it might require regular practice before you get it right and decide which type you prefer. Some claim that one type of pipe is healthier than another, while most claim there is no difference. Whether these statements are true or not is unproven. The best way to decide which type of pipe to use is to try several and decide which experience you enjoy most.
