hey,

A few weeks ago, I put in a request to a local glass blower to make me a small, glass spoon. I first saw his work in the local paper, not of pipes, but of vases and such, and I even went down to watch him make something. I asked him in private if he was capable to make me a custom piece. He said no problem and that second he started asking me what I was looking for.

I wanted something with a lot of color in there, but also one that changes color when darkened, or well resined. I had a color changing pipe once and the colors were amazing, he assured me the colors in this one will be top notch and vivid when well used.

I have attached a few pictures of the pipe, and it cost me quite a bit to get done, but the final cost was $45.

I watched him make this pipe from a small blob of red hot glass, and took him about 45min-60min to create. Then it had to go into a hot oven for quite some time to cure. He has a huge gas burner in his garage that cost an arm and a leg to run, but the glass creations he makes, of all kinds of things, sell for about $50-$5000.

I also picked up a sweet half yesterday from a new guy. Cost me $120 for it, but the extra $10-$20 is worth it. Now, I have to go break in this beauty with some goodness.

Peace.

Nah, pipes arne't harsh at all. Metal pipes can have a sometimes nasty taste to them and can be harsh, but if you pack a nice, tasty bud in there, it tastes wonderful and is not harsh at all. Quite pleasant actually.

glass pieces are eth way to go if u dont have a vape. joints are cool but lets face it theyre not practical if your the average smoker who doesnt want to broadcast it to their parents or the world that theyre smokin weed. theyre extra smelly, put off tons of smoke, and waste weed. glass pieces/bongs are my one true love.

I use pipes because I am incapable or rolling joints and holding a joint without it breaking in half. I have parkinsons in my hands and it even gets hard to write my name sometimes on paper. I can hold a pipe with ease and no pain, so that's why I stick to them.
