ive been thinking about smoking it with a bit of pipe tobacco just cuz i love the way it smells and while im not into cigarettes i have no aversion to tobacco in general

also would it be wise to use flavor drops in a wood pipe
I guess people just don't see it as being as elegant. And I'd imagine that the herb smoke would carry a slight woody-taste. Glass pipes don't leave any taste, as I understand it (except for maybe resin from other sessions). But no, I don't think wooden pipes are only for old men and tobacco. Also, most, if not all, glass pipes have a carb built in for quick deliverance of the smoke into the lungs. From the wooden pipes that I've seen, there are no carbs. Smoking out of a pipe without a carb is almost like smoking from a joint/blunt when it comes to deliverance of the medicine. But I wouldn't say it's worse.

I don't think that the wood would filter out any of the active psychoactive and regulatory cannabinoids (CBD). I doubt that it would filter out THC, as that would not make much sense.

Flavor drops? Why? Do you not enjoy the flavor of the herb itself, or maybe you don't get herb that tastes good either because it isn't cured long enough or it is just not good in general (not meant to be offensive)? I wouldn't like the idea of inhaling chemicals that give off extra flavor. Although, putting flavorings in bong water might not be as harmful as the method that you are thinking of.
