I have this whole intricate ritual with my new pieces, first i pick out a name for it (not allowed to even THINK about smoking out of it until i have a name for it that im really happy with) Then i go out and get some good liquor (usually whiskey or vodka of some kind) and let the glass sit in about 2 ounces of said liquor (usually pour it inside the pipe and put that inside a cup). After its had atleast an hour to sit in the liquor i empty the liquor out into a shot glass and let the remaining stuff on the glass evaporate. Then i pack up a bowl, take a deep breath, slam the shot down, and take a big ass hit and hold it as long as i can. Upon exhaling the first hit ever taken from the piece i say its name, and then it has been named.
