If you aren’t familiar glass pipes, their use, and their benefits, you’re not alone. Used for smoking, these devices are artfully constructed and are available in a broad range of sizes and shapes. 5J Music, a haven for music lovers in Elko, NV, carries these and other smoking products, such as vapes.

To introduce you to the world of glass pipes, the team explains a bit more about them:

• What Are They Used For? Glass pipes are used to smoke tobacco, and while some pipes are simplistic in design, others have more intricate features. For instance, some have complex smoke chambers for cooling smoke, and others even change color as they’re used.
• What Are Some Different Types? Glass pipes come in five main shapes. There’s the chillum, which is basic and best for only small amounts of tobacco. Spoons and steamrollers are a bit more complex, since they contain carburetors and chambers, respectively. There are also Sherlock pipes, which are like the traditional smoking pipes you might see in old movies, except these are made of glass. Finally, glass bubblers employ the use of water to filter out tar and resin in tobacco for a purer smoking experience.
• Is A Pipe Right For Me? If you’re a smoker with an appreciation for art or collectibles, you may want to experiment with these quirky accessories. Many smokers find the artistic aspect of pipes alluring, as the intricate patterns and colors worked into the glass are beautiful and unique. Just keep in mind that glass is more fragile than other smoking accessories, so be careful with transporting and storing your pipes.
