wood and metal chillum

Description

Wood carved ebony chillum. The Chillum is a kind of narrow funnel made of clay and other materials. The funnel can only be used for smoking when it has a filter stone inside it or the smoking substance will fall right into your mouth. To avoid burning your hands the Chillum is being smoked through a cloth. Originally the Chillum was made from fired clay but they also exist in wood, stone and glass. Chillum’s believed to be originated from India. The Chillum is special as its origin is purely spiritual. The holy men from India, the Sadhu (Hindu Priests), have been smoking their Chillums for thousands of years. Smoking a Chillum for a Sadhu is like drinking red wine for a catholic priest. In the sixties, the Chillum started being used in Europe and America by the Hippie movement. We have a great collection of chillums in a number of different materials. From glass chillums to clay and wooden chillums. These very portable and easy to use pipes are end to end straight pieces that have been extensively used in India for many years. All you have to do it pack the end with your chosen herb or tobacco and you???re ready to go. A chillum is smoked by holding the pipe between your fingers and smoking through your closed hand. Chillums have been used extensively in India for many years and are used spiritually by the Hindus They can be made from soapstone, clay and wood.
