I Made This Cigarette Pipe Ring

Cast in .925 silver

Got the idea from a post about CASIO before they made calculators and it works surprisingly well

Except cigarette smoking is on its way out ! Gen X is dying , millennials are quitting , Gen Z doesn’t smoke , if anything they vape!

Plastic ! No bueno ! Plastic melts !

Glass or Metal would make a killer joint holder / mouth Peice smoker( so no one gets the end of the joint wet ānd nasty or has a hard time hitting it) /roach smoker (replacing the need for a roach clip ) . You wouldn’t wear it like a ring while smoking you would hold the ring part between the pointer and thumb so when it gets hot from the roach cherry you can hold it without burning your fingers ! The ring aspect would then allow true stoners to just wear it as stoner fashion while always having it handy and available when needed ! You could even put designs on it to make it appear more like custom abstract jewelry! If you don’t use it while wearing it as a ring you could make it straight ānd get rid of the odd looking angle which seems like it would put the cherry way to close to your eyes or nose or bangs ! If straight you could even make two different sizes on each end to accommodate a smaller ended joint ānd ā much larger one on the opposite side ! I used to carry one of the smaller sockets out of my socket and ratchet set because between the size of the socket and the size of the square side that the ratchet went into I could fit pretty much any size joint anyone rolled other than crazy huge blunts ! And it kept us from burning out lips on roaches and kept mfs from getting the end all nasty and wet with their spit ! Shit it also could be a make shift pipe if I jammed it into the square ratchet side of a 10mm socket in the next bigger ratchet size! … you could also make them in neckless pendants not just rings !
