Smoking a pipe is an experience of all the senses. The feel, fit, look, smell, and taste can make all the difference. With a variety of pipes available on the market, it can be difficult to know which is the best option for you and your tastes. To help, 5J Music, a one-stop shop for music, sports memorabilia, and vapes in Elko, NV, offers their knowledge.

Consider these factors when determining if a pipe is for you:

• Aesthetics: To fully enjoy your smoke or vapes, the outer appearance of the pipe must be pleasing to you. While asking the opinion of others is helpful, you should ultimately choose your favorite. Take your time to look around and visit many different shops to ensure you see a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials. Hold pipes in your hand and see how they fit, as well. Always make sure you enjoy the aesthetic of a pipe before purchasing.

• Check for Quality: Even if a pipe looks amazing, if it is poorly made or damaged, it can become impossible or unpleasant to smoke. Check the exterior for holes, dents, and scratches. Feel the weight of the item, as a heavier pipe indicates a tighter wood grain and higher quality.

• Consider the Cost: Pipes come in a variety of price points, so it is important to establish your budget and shop within it. Whether you're looking for something under $20 or are willing to spend thousands on the latest vapes, there is something made for you. Higher quality items will cost more, but it’s an investment worth making if you can enjoy the pipe for years to come.
