Tobacco combustion in an Egg pipe
The tobacco combustion in an Egg pipe occurs through the ignition of the tobacco itself using a lighter or a match. Once lit, the smoke in the Egg pipe is generated thanks to the combustion of the tobacco, which is drawn through the pipe's stem. During this process, the tobacco releases flavors and chemicals that are inhaled by the smoker. The unique shape of the Egg pipe contributes to better air circulation and more even tobacco combustion, providing a more balanced and enjoyable smoking experience.
