mattarios2 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Best advice is to smoke tangiers or nakhla, pack that bowl tight, and smoke away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What John here said. Pick up a Tangiers Phunnel bowl, use Tangiers or Nakhla, and a good brand of coconut coals. You will be set for life, my friend. Good KM model, btw. Probably one of the best they make. I used to own it. The trimetals are probably their signature models they do best, although all KMs smoke the same.

[/quote] Currently sold out everywhere, unfortunately. There's a shortage of not only Tangiers tobacco, but also Phunnel bowls at the moment. Don't settle for the Chinese rip-off, though. If you want a Phunnel bowl now, I recommend a Crown Micro Phunnel bowl from Crownhookahs.com. They are the next best thing on the market right now to the legit Tangiers Phunnels. When Tangiers bowls do come back in stock, I recommend picking up the Pico or Small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM Kafe is ordered and on the way [/quote] The Kafe is my go to pipe. It's solid and strong, doesn't need any special maintenance like brass or copper and short enough to clean without too much trouble. It's not much to look at but it's a work horse.

Chreees Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yep, just normal cleaning with water, but you'll want to polish it every now and then if you want to keep it shiny. I personally like the look of both unpolished and polished, so I wait a long time before polishing my brass again. Once I finally do polish, it's like having a brand new pipe all over again.

The one I use, I'm careful to wipe water off of it to avoid water spots and spots of oxidation. I don't worry about water spots or anything on the Kafe. I just clean it so it isn't gross. It's a utilitarian pipe; that's what I like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
