When it comes to portable, no-fuss smoking, few tools are more iconic than the classic hand pipe. Whether it’s a spoon, a chillum, or a one-hitter, hand pipes are staples in every smoker’s kit.

🔹 What Is a Hand Pipe?
A hand pipe is a small, handheld smoking device typically made of glass, metal, wood, or silicone. It doesn’t require electricity, water, or papers—just a bowl, a mouthpiece, and a lighter.
Most common styles:
-
Spoon pipe: Rounded bowl with a carb hole
-
Chillum: Straight, one-piece design for small hits
-
Steamroller: Open-ended for huge rips
-
Sherlock: Curved neck and stylish design
These pipes are great for quick sessions, personal use, and travel. But they haven’t changed much in decades.
