As a long time fan of Jack Herer, I was aware of his innovative pipe design. When I saw the video of Jack demonstrating proper loading and lighting of this wooden miracle, I decided to order one for myself.

It may be a bit pricey, but after loading and smoking it one time I realized that it's the most efficient smoking device I've ever used. It worked exactly as advertised and is now a cherished item in my collection. Honestly I don't think I'll need to ever get another pipe as it's simple but elegant design makes it really easy to use.

Thanks to the folks at 1 percent for getting it delivered to me promptly even though I ordered on a holiday weekend. Ya'll rock!

Beautifully hand carved and finished, this pipe smokes like no other. Every hit tastes like the first. For best results, go to youtube to watch the proper loading method. If packed correctly, ever bit of your smoking material is evenly burned. When the pipe is finished (10-15 hits) the white ash taps out and looks like a cigar ash.

I had an idea to purchase a pipe for the main man in my life on his birthday about a year ago. He had mentioned a stolen Jack Herer pipe earlier in the relationship so I thought, what better gift than a replacement. Considering his satisfaction with the first one I chose the same, 5 inch double venturi system, that my taste buds were now craving after reading about it.

Considering you can not buy these in stores, the search was actually easier than I thought. I contacted Jack himself and within minutes he replied with the one and only 1 percent. In less than an hour my one of a kind hand crafted piece was on its way to make my boyfriends birthday a success.

I am very happy to say that I was not disappointed with my purchase....and neither was he. Your product of choice will taste fresh with every hit and the cleanup is practically nothing aside from a few pipe cleaners running through it every once in a while.

I got on today to purchase myself one and thought, why not share this product with others who may be searching for a new addition to their collection. And to all of you: This pipe will last you a lifetime! Cheaper than buying new glass every time they break, and the sweet taste is unforgettable.

I will say that I was a bit skeptical before purchasing this item, as the marketing behind this pipe is quite "gimmicky". The idea was that I wanted a nice quality combustion piece which would also be economical with my product of choice. Being that this was a candidate for my first pipe and also a bit pricey, I decided to do some homework before making the purchase. The general consensus of those that have tried or own this product seems to be that it provides a quality smoking experience. Many smokers seem to dislike the fact that it is made out of wood and swear that no piece is worth purchasing unless it is made from glass.

I went ahead with this purchase and I must say that I am not disappointed. The packaging is on the simple side. If I remember correctly everything was placed inside a zip lock bag. The contents included were the pipe, the packing tool, a small hex wrench (Used for tightening the cap should it become loose over time), some spare screens, and a printout with the instructions. The pipe was a beautiful piece that used three different shades of wood. I am a bit of a minimalist so I liked the simple design.

The first time I smoked this pipe I was sure to pack it in accordance with the directions. Do not let those videos online fool you into thinking this is a difficult process. The basic idea is that you take dry ground smoking material and pack like 6-7 small layers into the bowl. This makes it so that you usually have enough time to pass the pipe to a buddy without having to re-light it. Also every hit is a "green" fresh tasting hit. I can vouch for both of these things. During the bulk of the session this pipe rarely ever has to be re-lit and every hit is fresh tasting, especially when compared to other "spoon" style pipes. The smoke is about as cool as it can get from a pipe. However if you smoke several bowls in quick succession, it will begin to heat up on bowl three. Many people like to ask how many "hits" this pipe will give you per bowl. Well to be honest I cannot accurately gauge this because I never measure how much product actually gets packed in there. I always do it by eye so I am never really sure. I would like to say 15-20? (I never count)

Now I must say...I definitely like what wood brings to the smoking experience. I'm really not sure how this whole glass mania got started, because in my opinion I think wood and smoking goes hand in hand. I like the subtle "woody" notes this pipe adds to the smoking session. You also do not need to worry as much about dropping your pipe. It is in my opinion that glass pieces are destined to break, the Jack Herer pipe is a pipe that will probably last you forever if it is taken care of.

The smoking experience is slightly diminished with use as the tar and resin builds up over time. I have neglected taking care of this pipe since purchasing and I really should start cleaning it. Supposedly all it takes is some pipe cleaners after a smoking session and cleaning is supposed to be fairly easy.
