Price: $17.50
Ash catchers are attachments that connect to the joint of a pipe. Their main purpose is to add diffusion, but they also keep the main chamber of the pipe as clean as possible. Novice or seasoned smoker, who doesn’t love cooler, cleaner hits? These six-arm ash catchers make cleaning a breeze—simply remove the attachment and run it through your cleaning routine.
Just keep in mind the size, weight, and angle of the ash catcher in relation to the height and weight of the main pipe. If the ash catcher is too big or at the wrong angle, it can cause the piece to tip over.

Price: $33
Spoons or hand pipes are the quintessential pipe, constructed from simple, sturdy glass that’s great for when you’re just starting out. They’re easy to control by using the carb hole, which functions to let air into the pipe so that smoke can easily be cleared when released. These pipes usually range from 3-7 inches long.
This gold-fumed spoon pipe is handmade using borosilicate glass and is designed with portability and durability in mind. A travel-ready size of about 5″ long, it can easily be stashed in a pocket or your favorite fanny pack.
