Why is glass better than other materials?
Glass doesn't burn, sweat, give a flavor, or impart any impurities into the smoke. It can be cleaned
completely. Glass is naturally attractive and alluring to the eye, it is also more versatile in how it can be shaped and
colored than perhaps any other medium. The translucency of glass I believe has always appealed to people in a kind of magical
way. Especially so in pipes as it lets a smoker see the smoke, and, more importantly, stale smoke, one can then blow the stale
smoke out of the pipe before taking a hit. Stale smoke tastes like raunch from hell, and will make you gag and hack in the most
unpleasant of ways. The vast majority of smokers I know (well over 90% of them) would rather smoke out of glass than any other
kind of pipe.
