Dry smoking thanks to Stack pipe
Dry smoking is a term used in the world of pipes to indicate a smoking technique that involves a slower and more even combustion of the tobacco. With a Stack pipe, characterized by a long and narrow chimney, it is possible to achieve a particularly cool and dry smoke, thanks to the increased cooling surface and the extended smoke path. This type of pipe allows you to fully savor the tobacco flavors without overheating the blend, offering a more enjoyable experience rich in aromatic nuances. Dry smoking with a Stack pipe is particularly appreciated by pipe tobacco enthusiasts for its aromatic yield and the delicacy of the smoke.
Filtered Stack pipe
A Filtered Stack pipe is a type of pipe that incorporates a filter into the stem itself. This filter works to trap moisture and nicotine residues during smoking, ensuring a cleaner and fresher experience. The presence of the filter inside the Filtered Stack pipe helps to reduce the amount of smoke that reaches the mouth, enhancing the overall taste of the tobacco. This type of pipe is particularly appreciated by those looking for a lighter and more controlled smoke. Its structure allows for easy cleaning and efficient maintenance of the filter itself.
