>>2226390Breaking in a wooden pipe is a meme. Just smoke the fucker.
Even if you suck at it, it will be able to take it. They’re made of wood, not glass.
I’ve got pipes that are over 100 years old and are still fine. Just keep them fairly clean and don’t let the cake build up too much, and they’ll stay good for a LONG time.
>pic related, somebody’s /out/ pipe from the 1900-1910s.
