Pipes

Why choose a briar pipe?

Briar wood is the go-to material for pipe making. Its heat resistance, moisture absorption capacity, and unique grain make it a highly prized choice among pipe enthusiasts. At FumerChic, we offer pipes handcrafted by artisans or renowned manufacturers, ensuring both quality and durability.

What are the different types of pipes?

The different pipe shapes

Pipes come in various shapes, each influencing the smoking experience:

• Straight pipe: provides a more direct smoke and easy cleaning.
• Bent pipe: offers a comfortable grip and better weight distribution.
• Churchwarden (liseuse): featuring a long stem for a cooler smoke.
• Short pipe (brûle-gueule): compact and convenient for quick use.
• Poker pipe: flat base so it can be set down without tipping over.

The different stems

The stem of a pipe also affects comfort and aesthetics:

• Acrylic: sturdy and easy to maintain.
• Ebonite: soft in the mouth but requires regular maintenance.
• Cumberland: a variant of ebonite with an attractive marbled pattern.
• Aluminum: often used in Falcon pipes; it cools the smoke quickly.

The different finishes

The choice of finish impacts both appearance and handling:

• Smooth: polished surface highlighting the wood’s grain.
• Sandblasted: a textured finish achieved by blasting with sand, providing a comfortable grip.
• Rusticated: a carved surface for a vintage, authentic look.

How to choose the right filter for your briar pipe?

Some pipes feature filtration systems to reduce nicotine and tar:

• Without filter: for a pure, authentic experience.
• 9 mm filter: absorbs moisture and softens the smoke.
• Metal filter: reusable and effective against solid particles, but can affect the draw.

Maintenance tips to extend the life of your briar pipe

• Regularly clean your pipe with pipe cleaners to avoid residue buildup.
• Let your pipe rest between smokes to preserve the wood.
• Use a pipe tool to remove ash and clear the airway.
• Apply natural wax to smooth pipes to maintain their shine.
