It gives your fingers a stop so the pipe doesn't slide, and it adds strength at a spot where small spoons often break.

It looks warmer once the fumed body starts to color up beside it. If you want a bolder head, we'd point you to Orange or Purple, which read stronger from across a room.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCan I use a screen in the bowl?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes, a small brass or glass screen will sit in the bowl if you want one. The bowl is round and fairly shallow on a 4 inch spoon, so pick a small screen. Plenty of people skip it and just use a coarser grind at the bottom of the pack.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this a good first glass pipe?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes, a 4 inch spoon with a side carb is one of the easiest pipes to learn on.
