Avast! It's ShellPipe on Etsy!
Originating from early 17th century pirate-lore, seashells made into pipes and coated with plant resins have been found in numerous shipwrecks. The plunder of British East India Company vessels brought to many pirates delight, in the finding of exquisite herbs cultivated in India being exported to South Africa and Jamaica. Not all treasure is silver and gold!

~Cleaning Instructions~
Just as with all smoking devices, ShellPipes require cleaning to ensure smooth tokes. Screens will get oil buildup faster than your pipe, and are easier to clean in order for your pipe to smoke well. Pull out the screen and holding it with a metal tool, light the screen on fire to burn any buildup off. Once cool, flex the screen and rub clean then insert back in your pipe.
Complete cleaning is very basic. Soak your ShellPipe in alcohol for several hours, or boil in water for 15 to 20 minutes to clean out just about all resin buildup. Smaller pipes such as the Archimedes tend to chip if you burn the pipe getting the flame too close. Watch out for this, but in case it does happen simply break off the remaining chips to even the bowl and push the screen deeper. If you want a smooth feel to the bowl again, lightly rubbing with sandpaper or a nail file will clean up your ShellPipe nicely!
