Chillums
Chillums, sometimes referred to as one-hitters or bats, are one-handed pipes that have a very long history. These pipes can be dated back thousands of years, used by Hindu Monks and holy men across India, long before tobacco reached the country’s shores. That is why this type of pipe is long associated with spiritualism and meditation practices.
Chillum pipes do not have a carb, providing a heavy hit and minimal control over airflow, meaning the bowl will burn for as long as the flame lasts. The old-school design of a Chillum hitter pipe also means it should be smoked at a 45-degree angle to ensure the herb doesn’t fall on the floor.
