the only thing i dont like about chillums is that i cant see th weed when im smoking it.
just hold the metal part of your lighter up to it and see the reflection of the weed burning...

my first ever pipe was a glass chillum, and i still have it. its a little glass piece, about 5-6 inches long.its not skinny like some of the ones i've seen on here though, its wider. i love it though.
