Glass is not porous and would not be able to soak up any excess moisture which would travel through the stem and nasty tobacco juice into your mouth. Usually they are made of briar, meerschaum, and hardwoods. Glass would be a great insulator thus getting Very hot! Perhaps @Glassman could elaborate as well.

The hot I could possibly see, not the resin argument though... why would t stoners use that style of pipe then??

Isn’t weed typically bone dry? No moisture to deal with, hence the harshness of it.

 

[Tyler86]

No. Higher moisture content than cigars for sure.

Isn’t the bowl much much smaller to. With pipes you get about 40mins

 

[Tyler86]

Depends on how you buy them I guess.

Higher resin content, much lower humidity.

I've always wanted to make a glass tobacco pipe, and always wondered why people didn't. They might get hot down at the bowl end.

Not if it's thick enough, I would guess....

I would think you would get to much nasty baccy juice from a glass pipe since there wouldn't be anything to absorb it before it gets to your mouth. And to make one thick enough to not get hot while smoking it for 20-40 minutes would be a pretty heavy pipe I would think depending on the style of it.

I'm tempted to buy one and pipe tobaccy to one out

Whenever I get around to trying a tobacco pipe, and learn about them, I'll try making a glass one thats actually suited to it.
