I want a smoking pipe that blows bubbles

Sign in to disble this ad
Someone must know what I'm talking about. One of those classy-looking tobacco pipes that actually blows bubbles. I want to use it for a joke when I play poker with my buds.

I'm not even sure where to buy one of these things. Google is not being my friend.

... Has anyone ever actually seen one of these in the wild? Apparently they were made primarily in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Thanks to anyone that can help =D

And she probably said "well at least it's not another BASS!"

Any pipe is a bubble blower as long as you have an empty water bottle cut in half and a small dish of liquid soap and water.

But it doesn't blow blubbles at the same time as smoking with it. That would be epic. Maybe some kind of dual chamber thing.

Talk to a the most burnt out pothead you can find.

It's amazing how the most out of it, "can't pull themselves together to even get off the couch for more sour cream & onion chips" stoner becomes an engineering genius when the words pipe and smoke are mentioned.

So true. This might also apply to our OP. I mean, seriously, who plays poker with their buds?
