I like small pipes, for few reasons: I don't like smoking weed with tabacco, and I don't smoke that much to smoke joints without tabacco. why pipes, not bongs ? first off, I don't like the water slowing my hit, and a bong without water is a big pipe =D, I love small pipes because I can smoke it anythere, at school, while going to the store or in a club. and I can carry my pipe in a pocket without any discomfort. ;]
