How to Make Smoke Pipes From Everyday Objects

Smoke pipes can be purchased in just about every size, shape and color you like and are made from material such as glass, wood, bamboo and even bone. However, not everyone wants to make the investment in a smoke pipe. If you want to make a quick, disposable pipe from everyday objects, you have plenty of options.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Apple
• Screwdriver
• Nail
• Screens
• Drill and bit
• Soda can
• Straight pin
• Scissors
• Aluminum foil
• Pen (shaft portion only)
• Half a pen shaft, cigar mouthpiece or other similar item (optional)

1. Make edible smoke pipes from apples. Use a wide, flat-head screwdriver to make a hole in the side of an apple deep enough to reach the core. Remove the stem and stick a nail into the top of the apple, creating a hole that reaches down to your larger side hole. You can now place your tobacco on a screen where the stem of the apple was and enjoy a fruity smoke, drawing air through the side hole.
2. Use the same apple pipe technique to create natural smoke pipes from potatoes or carrots. Carrot are a bit harder and may require a drill and drill bit to make the perfect hole. Potatoes should be scrubbed clean, but leave the peel on, as they tend to leak moisture once peeled.
3. Make a classic soda can smoke pipe which is fast, easy and recyclable. Empty a soda can and squeeze the middle gently, creating a flat dent. Use a straight pin or small sharp object to poke tiny holes in the dent. Make a larger hole on the side of the can as a carb. Place your tobacco over your tiny holes, hold your carb and inhale smoke through the mouth of the can.
4. Cut a 4 to 5 inch long piece of aluminum foil and carefully roll it around a pen to create a round tube. Pull the pen out about one inch and carefully bend up the vacant end, unwinding the foil carefully to create a bowl. Remove the pen and you have completed the pipe. The end of an aluminum smoke pipe can get very hot, so you may want to place a cigar mouthpiece, half of a plastic pen or some other object on the end.
