Old German #68 - Hand and Heart w/ Ebonite Stem
Old German Clay pipes brings history to life with a line of traditional clay tobacco pipes using pipe molds, some of which, date back generations.
This pipe is a great choice for the smoker new to clay pipes and is equally suited for collecting, smoking tobacco, and, where legal, smoking cannabis.
- The Ebonite stem is similar to those found on briar pipes, making this a perfect transitional pipe for those new to the clay pipe experience.
- Unlike briar pipes, which can retain the flavor of previous blends, the clay pipe removes the ghosting issue, as it will offer the natural flavor of each bowl.
- No ghosting means you will experience the actual flavor of the blend in the bowl making the clay pipe ideal for testing several blends without needing to switch pipes.
- The non-clay stem has the advantage of eliminating the possibility of the clay sticking to your lips.
