Two excellently smooth hits. The larger black one is way too big for my everyday use. Luckily for me, the seller gave me the smaller brown one for free. Big shout-out to Thehandmadeshoppy on Etsy.

happy puffing !
How do u use those they look awesome and interesting
They are essentially a clay cone. The stick fits inside of the cone and has channels running along the outside. You just pack the flower into the space, and smoke it like any other bowl. The channels allow so much air flow. It hits really smooth and kicks like a mule.
That is awesome thank u for explaining it to me how much are they and where do u get them from
There’s a link at the bottom of my first post to their Etsy shop. This one was the 6" leaf pattern. Cost $35 and also came with a crocheted pouch and cleaning brush.
Thank u once again
Yes this is a very effective way to smoke, very popular method in India even for some reason the best artisan that makes them are mostly from Italy
There are many things to consider when choosing a Chiloom:
1- material, usually in clay or stone or glass the clay is the most popular choice because it cools better. The clay can be black, red, white or other colors too but the white clay is considered the best because has less impurities. It is very important to make sure the Chiloom was made with clean clay or material that are not polluted. A good Chiloom inside is very smooth and straight.
2- shape, every smoker has his favorite dimensions of Chiloom for the different types of situations. There are small and medium pipes perfect to be smoked alone and there are more big to be smoked with other people. To smoke a Chiloom is a ritual that is perfect to do with others. Also have to check how big is the burning chamber and that can be also adjusted changing the stone.
3- stone, that is a very important part of the Chiloom. Some stone are shorter other more long. The long stones are usually preferred because they help to cool down and filter. Also you can choose the best quality stones looking at their design and materials that have to be safe for holding hot heat without release pollution and possibly is very symmetrical shaped.
4- tools, like the kefia to use as filter for the smoke must be also of a natural woven and the wood stick to help cleaning. You must immediately clean after smoke the inside and the stone when he still is hot or become not easy.
5- before the first time smoke is recommended to “cook” the Chiloom inside some boiling water with milk (you can use vegan almonds milk will work perfectly) for some hours and than let it dry and clean and you can use. Be very careful not to broke the pipe during this operation or also in the future. To have a nice place to keep it protected is also recommended as they can broken.
In this Forum we have also some Master Chiloom @Rosso @rosi from Italy I suggest to take a look at their design they’re famous in the world for some of the best quality Chiloom
