CHILLUM SMOKING EXPLAINED | OUTONTRIP.COM
OutOnTrip takes a look at the fine art of smoking a raw Chillum pipe. We explain the tricks that experienced smokers use and also talk of Chillum etiquette.
Chillums – Smoking and Etiquette
As we’ve said elsewhere, we really love Chillums here at OutOnTrip. They represent the traditional and raw smoking experience and nothing really gets simpler than a Chillum pipe. However, smoking a Chillum can be tricky business for the uninitiated, though once you get the hang of it, there is no easier (or cooler) way to smoke up. So here’s how you smoke a Chillum in 4 easy steps.
Step 1 - Get the right stuff in
Chillums are usually filled with a mixture of tobacco and hash, so have a cigarette of your choice and hash around before you light up. Grind the mixture together into a fine powder for your pipe. Before you fill it in, make sure your chillum stone is in place so that the mixture doesn’t simply fall through the pipe’s small end. These days, chillums are sold with a stone, but if you have a pipe without one, never fear! Traditionally, people searched for just the right stone off the ground to block their chillum pipe with and you can do the same. Make sure it has enough space on the sides to let the smoke through.
Step 2 – The hold
The art of smoking a Chillum comes right down to holding the device properly. Since a chillum is essentially a pipe full of weed, never hold it completely vertical (leave that stunt stuff to the pros). Always hold it at an angle between hands by making a cusp as seen below. There are a lot of variations to this hold, so practice it a couple of times to see what works best for you, but a two-handed hold is recommended. Another note of caution here – if you’re a first-time smoker of a Chillum pipe, try wrapping a wet, porous cloth around the bottom end of the pipe. This will cool the Chillum pipe which can get too hot to handle once the stuff is lit. It doesn’t dilute the smoking experience much and is a far sight better than getting your fingers burnt.
Step 3 – Light her up!
Here’s where we get into the etiquette part of the experience. Since a Chillum is held in both hands, it is quite difficult to light one up by your lonesome. Which is why Chillums are always meant to be shared, not to mention the strong hit you get from the pipe is quite enough for a small circle of friends. So, hold the Chillum as mentioned and have a friend light it up for you.
Step 4 – Puff, Puff, PUFF
Inhaling Chillum smoke is an art unto itself. One has to be careful since the hit is very strong and can overwhelm the novice smoker the first few times around. The best method is to draw 2-3 short puffs to really get the product smoking and then inhale deeply to enjoy the hit. Once you’ve had your fill, pass the Chillum to the next person over. Traditionally, the Chillum is passed to the person on your right (keeping with the Indian tradition of right hand vs left hand).
Remember to clean out your Chillum after use – just pass a piece of cloth in the pipe between the two ends which will clean up any ash or herb residue. Clean your Chillum stone as well. Chillums promise the most potent hit out of all smoking pipes and accessories, not to mention the simplicity with which they deliver the experience. Now that you know how to use one, go check out some cool Chillums on OutOnTrip!
HISTORY AND TYPES OF CHILLUMS | OUTONTRIP.COM
Smoked by Sadhus and Rastafarians, and popularized by hippies, the origin of the Chillum is debated. Long pipes cool the smoke while short ones give a hot hit.
ALL ABOUT CHILLUMS | OUTONTRIP.COM
We’re bringing back desi in style here at OutOnTrip through our exclusive range of clay pipes for your smoking pleasure. Chillums have been the traditional way to partake the herb we all love and enjoy and even today, Chillums are the way to go.
Chillums are said to have originated in India around the 18th century. This claim is hotly debated though, due to findings of smoking pipes similar to the Indian Chillum in parts of Africa dated from the same period. These were made out of cow and bull horns and must have been quite an experience. The smoking pipe has also been found in South America. Whatever the origins though, this simple pipe was popularized in the West by the hippie culture in the 60s and 70s. The hippies were introduced to the use of Chillums in day-to-day life by Indian Sadhus who believe smoking is a way of getting closer to the Gods, specifically Shiva.
While we’re on the subject of Gods, it is a widely held belief that Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of Worlds, used to smoke weed and drink bhaang. It is in his honour that Sadhus or various Shiva devotees smoke the product to this day – a way to get closer to the divine. The modern Rastafari movement believes in the spiritual use of Marijuana as well, and they too believe it brings them closer to God. Whatever the case may be, the preferred vessel for this divine journey has always been, and will continue to be the Chillum. Chillums are designed to give you a quick, strong hit of the herb, perfect for smokers who really want to get the experience the product in full form.
The Chillum is the simplest smoking device out there even though over the years many people have tried to make changes to the design. At OutOnTrip though, we believe in keeping things classic and simple. Here, you will find only the classic Chillum design with a variety of customizations to the outside of the pipe only. Chillums are made of various materials these days such as glass, wood, clay or stone. Each material gives a specific type of experience which is quite subjective to taste, so feel free to try out some varieties to find which one suits you best.
Chillum size is also a very important factor in your smoking experience. Usually, the shorter the Chillum the hotter the smoke you inhale. Longer pipes will cool down the smoke before you inhale it, so do take some time to decide what size would be perfect for you. For novice smokers, shorter Chillums are not recommended as they can get too hot to handle and need some practice to smoke properly. A 6-7 inch Chillum should be perfect for the beginner to get a handle on smoking it. For more experienced smokers out there, we would recommend the standard 4.5 inch pipe which will give you a hot hit to remember!
Lastly, and most importantly, remember that a Chillum is meant for sharing. The strong hit you get from this pipe means it is enough for you and a couple of others around you. So go out, get a Chillum and spread the joy.
