Why choose a straight pipe?
The straight pipe is a popular choice for novice smokers and enthusiasts alike. Its straight shape offers a direct draw and easier cleaning, making it an excellent compromise between practicality and performance. Highly appreciated for its sober, traditional aesthetic, the straight pipe highlights the quality of the wood - often briar - used in its manufacture.
The benefits of the straight pipe
- Fluid draft: the pipe's linear flue promotes even combustion and good airflow.
- Easy maintenance: its straight structure makes deep cleaning simpler.
- A timeless design: the straight shape is a classic style that spans the ages without going out of fashion.
- Good visibility: the position of the head makes it easier to monitor tobacco combustion.
Tips for choosing your straight pipe
Before choosing your straight pipe, there are several criteria to consider to ensure optimum comfort and an enjoyable experience:
The material used to make the pipe
The majority of straight pipes are designed in briar wood, renowned for its heat resistance and lightness. You'll also find models in olive wood, maple or corn to vary the pleasures.
The size and shape of the bowl
A small bowl will suit short pauses, while a deeper bowl will allow a long, continuous smoke. The diameter will also influence the type of tobacco to be preferred.
The type of filter
Depending on your preferences, opt for a:
- Pipe with a 9 mm filter: for a smoother, filtered smoke
- Pipe with a metal filter: more traditional but requiring more regular maintenance
- Pipe without filter: for lovers of raw sensations
Our maintenance tips for your straight pipe
A well-maintained pipe guarantees longer life and consistent smoking quality. Here are a few best practices to adopt:
A cleaning after each use
- Empty the ashes and let the pipe cool naturally.
- Use a pipe cleaner to clean the shank and stem.
- Dry the inside of the bowl with soft paper if necessary.
Weekly or monthly maintenance
- Gently dismantle the pipe to clean each part separately.
- Disinfect the stem and the shank with a suitable cleaner (moderate 90° alcohol).
- Let your pipe stand for 24 hours before reuse to preserve the wood.
