Outside, the snowflakes are dancing, the wind is whistling around the house – the perfect time to cozy up indoors with a good pipe. As the cold season draws us indoors, it offers the ideal opportunity to fully enjoy pipe smoking. 

Especially within the comfort of our own homes, the advantages of a reading pipe truly shine. Its impressive size, which can sometimes be a bit unwieldy when out and about, becomes an advantage here. The extended mouthpiece not only ensures a pleasant cooling of the smoke but also allows for a more refined perception of the tobacco aromas. Furthermore, it minimizes the dreaded tongue bite – an unpleasant burning sensation on the tongue that can be caused by excessively hot smoke.

Reading Pipes

In a relaxed posture, with the pipe resting comfortably on the armrest, a reading pipe allows you to immerse yourself in a good book or stimulating conversation. Another advantage: the smoke doesn't drift directly into your eyes when you look down.

Pipe Smoking in Winter

For stylishly lighting your pipe in a windless home, elegant lighters or classic matches are recommended.

An elegant pipe ashtray should be on every table. It not only serves as a safe place to rest your pipe and collect the ash, but its cork insert in the center also protects the pipe bowl when tapping it out.

After enjoying your smoke, the pipe finds its place in a suitable pipe stand. These come in various designs, from space-saving models for the table to impressive stands for several pipes. Some stands even allow you to rest the pipe while smoking.

For ambitious pipe enthusiasts, winter also offers the perfect opportunity to dedicate themselves to crafting their own pipe. Pre-drilled blanks with matching mouthpieces allow you to create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece with a little skill. This way, you can proudly present your handcrafted pipe in the spring.
