Im beginning to notice that none of my friends that are black and into recreation do not use pipes but always do the cigar blunts, as my white friends (everyone being in the same room using the same grass) all prefer to use pipes. less the bong is out, in which case we all share that. so tell me, are pipes a white guy thing???

Later, my sister met this awesome group of guys (two of them later turned out to be our long-term boyfriends, 3 years for both of us and still going) who mainly used pipes. Well, they used cigars for group sessions, but preferred pipes for 1-4 people. I HATED THEM! I didn't know how to smoke out of them and I enjoyed passing the blunt around and the whole process of smoking...
But as time went on, I realized just how much weed you conserve when you smoke out of pipes, bongs, bowls, whatever. We have a huge pipe collection. 1 bong, 1 homemade Indian peace pipe, lots of small bowls, and one corncob pipe. And the corncob pipe is the BEST! It lasts about 8 rounds with 4 people on one small bowl...invest in one of those!
Pipes are totally a Bob Dylan / Willie Nelson thing. Keep on rocking in the free world.
