Important - How to insert the stem into the pipe.

CAUTION - Never force the stem into the pipe hole.

The stem is designed to fit snugly, not tightly. Do not try and seat the shoulders of the stem up to the pipe bowl.
f you force the stem into the barrel, you will likely break the pipestone.

Instead . . . Moisten the tapered insert end of the stem with your lips. Insert the stem into the pipe barrel and gently give it ¼ turn. This will give the stem a good hold on the inside of the barrel. The slight moisture will swell the stem insert slightly which results in a snug fit.

DO NOT TRY TO INSERT THE PIPE-STEM FULLY INTO THE CATLINITE PIPE YOU WILL DAMAGE THE PIPE. IF YOU BREAK THE PIPE YOU OWN IT NO RETURNS AND NO REFUND

If you treat a pipe with respect, it will last a long time.

DISCLAIMER Please Note:
All of my items are handmade & many of them are truly one of a kind which means that no two are exactly alike.

Because each one of my items are handcrafted one at a time, no two are 100% identical. I consider my items as art forms made in the centuries old ways which means there may be natural variations that one might consider a flaw but are actually inherent in the making of the piece, just as they were centuries ago. My items are created exactly as they were centuries ago. We might look at a piece from centuries ago may it be a drum, war club, knife, pipe, necklace, etc & think it's not perfect but actually it is, it's the hand crafted nature & techniques that the Native Americans used & which I use today with pride, skill & confidence.

Calumet - a North American Indian peace pipe.
Catlinite pipe-Native Americans have used catlinite to make smoking pipes and pipe bowls. They used catlinite for their Calumet because it is easy to carve and drill. Its high specific heat capacity enabled the outside of the bowl to have a lower temperature than the burning tobacco inside.

A ceremonial pipe is a particular type of smoking pipe, used by a number of Native American cultures in their sacred ceremonies. Traditionally they are used to offer prayers in a religious ceremony, to make a ceremonial commitment, or to seal a covenant or treaty. The pipe ceremony may be a component of a larger ceremony, or held as a sacred ceremony in and of itself. Indigenous peoples of the Americas who use ceremonial pipes have names for them in each culture's indigenous language. Not all cultures have pipe traditions, and there is no single word for all ceremonial pipes across the hundreds of diverse Native cultures.
