The original brass pipe we all know and love, our Proto Pipe® Classic was designed by Phil Jergenson in the late 60’s. It features permanent screen holes, a lid to snuff your bowl out, and a removable poker, stash pod, and tar trap. The address stamped into the stash pod hole and the PP stamped on the lid ensure that your Proto Pipe is authentic.
Now, you can make it even more personal. We’re offering custom engraving so you can add your initials to your Proto Pipe — a subtle way to mark it as your own or create a meaningful gift.
Each Proto Pipe is still crafted with the same intention and integrity it’s carried for decades — built to last, built to be used, and built to tell a story.
If you have a great story about your Proto Pipe, be sure to let us know!

Care
Care
To care for a Proto Pipe, regular maintenance is essential for longevity and smooth performance. Depending on usage, occasional spot cleaning or a thorough weekly cleaning will help prevent excessive buildup. Cleaning while the resin is still soft is much easier than waiting for it to harden. Use a pipe cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, and Q-tips to remove residue from the bowl, chamber, and mouthpiece. Disassemble the removable components, soak them in rubbing alcohol, and wipe out the tubes and bowl for a deeper clean. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts with hot water to remove any remaining residue. Keeping your Proto Pipe well-maintained not only enhances performance but also preserves its classic look and function.

The Poker
The poker is the key component of the Proto Pipe, securing both the stash tube and tar trap in place. If the poker becomes loose, gently push the collar on the stash tube upward to create tension. This tension holds the poker securely, preventing it from falling out and ensuring the pipe stays properly assembled. Keeping the poker snug ensures smooth functionality and easy maintenance.

I had a proto pipe in my teens, I loved it, I eventually lost it to a road pirate. When I looked for a replacement I couldn't find them anywhere, this was of course before the internet.
When I did a search and found this site and found that they were still making it I wanted one. It took me a minute before I was willing to pull the trigger, the price is definitely higher now than it was then.
Very pleasantly surprised to find it is indeed the same pipe. The two differences I have found is the tar trap is deeper on this one than my old one, and the stash tube 'lock' was straight I am pretty sure, where this has the curve at the end.
Otherwise it seems like exactly the same pipe. I prefer it over glass if I'm smoking alone.
Maybe I'll pick up the latest version someday, definitely interested in checking it out now.
I say if you want one, spend the money, you're worth it :)
Cool pipe. I had one when I was a kid. Some day the one I ordered will arrive, maybe next month. Telling people 10 days wait, maybe longer, in small print is a little greasy. Just tell people you're baked and 30 days is how long it takes to get the pipe - boom - problem solved. In the era of Amazon just be up front with people that you are slow to deliver. That would have made everything much better.
Just got mine as a gift best pipe on the planet
I came across proto pipe when I stopped at this Russian Bathhouse in Chicago. I met one of the older cats that’s a regular there on the days I head in for a Schvits. the gentleman had a protopipe and I was shocked at how it was designed and just everything about it. Ordered mine right away and it’s just incredible the quality in the pipe, you guys thought of everything for it. The smooth hits as well from using it. Outstanding product. I’m already looking at others in your catalog.
