The Urbanite | Engraved Bent Brandy Smoking Pipe | 5.5"
The Urban Jungle: where the modern Homo sapiens can make their way through a labyrinthine world meticulously planned and created by humankind. Though the interwoven streets may seem organized, their inhabitants keep the city chaotic and unpredictable with their constant bustle.

Made from quality cherry wood, this bent brandy style pipe features an engraved grid design, evoking the roads and avenues of a busy metropolis. The pipe has a curved saddle style stem, so you can rest it between your teeth as you contemplate the latest trends in New Urbanism. Perfect for city-dwellers, subway riders, and classic smokers.

Use & Care
Follow these guidelines to get the most from your Shire Pipe.
Packing
Pack your chosen cut firmly, and aim for a moderate amount of airflow - not too tightly, not too losely. You can check this by taking a few test puffs before lighting.
Lighting
Using a circular motion, carefully apply a flame over the entire surface of the material in the pipe bowl, drawing gently on the mouthpiece. Tamp down, and re-light.
Smoking
Take your time. Puff gently - inhaling fully is not necessary.
Cleaning
Tap or gently scrape out the bowl immediately after use. Clean your pipe frequently for the best flavor experience.
Over time, a carbon deposit ("cake") will build up inside the bowl. Do not allow this layer to get thicker than 1/16" (2mm), as it could damage the bowl. Use the provided poker multi-tool to gently remove any excess carbon.
Use the included pipe cleaners to clear any build-up from the stem. Use isopropyl alcohol - not water - on a cotton swab to deal with particularly stubborn tar. Unless you are displaying it, store your pipe with the bowl facing down to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
