Classic Models
Protopipe Deluxe
Designed in the ’60s, this solid-brass number is the Swiss Army knife of pipes ($50, amazon.com). It’s compact and comes with built-in brass gauze, a removable bowl, a swivel top, and a cleaning pick to efficiently remove icky buildup.
Roor Beaker Bong
Handblown in Germany, this beaker bong (from $180, roor.de) comes in a range of sizes (including the 14-inch Little Sista), but serious smokers can opt for the giant 22-inch Dealers Cup. (Don’t worry if you can’t decide; the Roor website includes a handy chart ranging from “easy” to “well trained” to “extreme.”) The company even offers a repair service.
Club Modiano Bistro Papers
The purist’s choice, Belgian-made Club Modiano Bistro papers (from $4, amazon.com) were patented in 1824. Ungummed and free of the additives, they’re a smooth roll, burn evenly, and feature a distinctive watermark.
Space Case Grinder
Backed by a lifetime warranty, this two-piece aerospace aluminum grinder (to turn flowery pot into a rollable mix) is compact and lightweight; magnets keep it tightly sealed ($27, spacegrinders.com).
Digger One-Hitter
A small pipe designed to hold just a single hit of pot, this one-hitter ($8, thediggeronehitter.com) is crossed with a grinder and looks like a cigarette (if discretion is an issue).
