i11 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I used to have one of these many years ago for smoking hash. Now that I'm predominately a hash smoker again I'd love to get my hands on one. Anyone know what they are called, or better still, where I'd get one? I mean the ceramic and metal pipe, not the brass one. None of the main online head shops seem to carry them. Maybe they don't make them and more They were a great smoker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) looks like an opium pipe https://previews.123rf.com/images/west1/west11211/west1121103222/16534247-skull-opium-pipe-isolated-on-a-white-studio-background.jpg Edited December 25, 2019 by Sancho Panza 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgee Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Have you tried Alibaba? I only ask coz ceramics are more popular/widespread in Asia.. Especially opium pipes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenVision Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 If your looking for something similar but not quite exact that you can get in the UK no problem, have a look at some Shire Pipes, they're really good IMO. If you want one of those however you need to go back to 1895 London, find a very dark basement run by a few Asian men, and take a blanket 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for one pretty much the same as the above. Mine used to have the exact same stem decoration although the bowl was a different colour. I'm pretty sure one of my older sisters bought it in a headshop, maybe 20 years ago. Might look into the Shire, I've had one of OG's Tomohawk bubblers before and it was a great pipe until the pigs nicked it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince noir rock n roll star Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 used to be lots of them in headshops at one point ..nearly every one i went into had something along those lines ..maybe have a look for a head shop or as others have said alibaba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i11 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Sweet, at least I know they were mass produced. India I'd say by the decoration. I think it's the shape of the stem that they had such a lovely cool smoke. I can't stand smoking other little metal pipes, the smoke is waaay to hot on the lips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Ruderalis Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I had one too, very round bowl, and as I remember three holes in the bottom not one. Could be wrong about that though. Mine had the same stem but the bowl was like a cats head. Circa 20 - 25 years ago. Was a great smoking pipe and it was easy to clean. Good luck, I bet they still make them some place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
