Glass lives and glass dies, post up your past pieces, before or after.

The first pipe I broke myself was my little crack pipe I smoked out of concerts


My gandalf was sat on:



My first diffused piece fell out of it's unzipped case


So I bought this beautiful bubbler




The first bowl I bought with it broke:



The Second bowl I got for it broke


And finally the bubbler itself bit the dust today.




It's been a hard year in my glass collection

Churchwarden pipe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Savinelli churchwarden pipe(above) in comparison to a more "traditional" pipe(below)
A churchwarden pipe is a tobacco pipe with a long stem. Some churchwarden pipes can be as long as 16 inches (40cm). They range from being straight to curved like a saxophone (such as depictions of Sherlock Holmes' calabash). Churchwarden pipes are well known for their similar appearance to the pipes used in the The Lord of the Rings books and films. In German the style is referred to as "Lesepfeife" or "reading pipe," presumably because the longer stem allowed an unimpeded view of one's book.
Such pipes were very popular as an Oriental influence from the 17th century onwards in Europe. They remained most popular in Eastern Europe, as an emblem of the "Hussars", cavalry troops with roots in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who went from Russia to France and England during the Napoleonic Wars and brought the pipes with them. It was even known as the "Hussar pipe" at the time. Historical engravings are full of men who loved having their portraits made while enjoying such a smoking instrument. This long stem pipe type has its origins in the Ottoman Empire, geographically and historically.
Churchwarden pipes generally produce a cooler smoke due to the distance smoke must travel from the bowl to the mouthpiece. They have the added benefit of keeping the users face further away from the heat and smoke produced by combustion in the bowl. They are also more prone to breakage since more pressure is placed on the tenon when the pipe is supported around the mouthpiece.


also, they usually shoot ash like nobody's business since the air is accelerated as it travels down the length of the pipe. This causes them to rocket into your mouth.
