Proto Voyager
Proto Voyager
Meet Phil's newest pipe, our Proto Rocket Voyager, fully equipped to help you blast off into your next journey. For three years, Phil has redesigned the Proto Pipe® Rocket and applied an artistic spin. Inspired by Sci-Fi classics, the Voyager boasts three updated features. The first is a wider, curved knurled collar on the stash pod that adds substance and grace to its appearance and also provides a more substantial grip to hold Poker in place. The second is his new Proton Poker which has a thicker, solid brass knurled handle that's easier to grip to remove and also adds a solid new look. The third is a double-notched bottom lid that makes it easier to open against stubbornly sticky resin.
Of course, it keeps all the amazing features of the original Rocket. Its bowl is beautifully round and holds a larger smoking capacity than the Proto Classic. The swiveling top lid is shaped into a graceful crescent that cleverly makes it also function as a roach clip. The bottom tar trap has been transformed from a plug that pops out into a bottom lid that swivels like the top lid, making it super easy to clean. The collar around the Stash Pod, that holds the Poker in place, is completely hand-shaped and knurled for improved function, feel, and appearance. Finally, the finished Rocket gets brushed for a lustrous finish all over. No wonder it has become Phil’s personal pipe of choice when he smokes.
Cleaning the Pipes:
Every Proto Pipe has a permanent screen in the solid brass bowl. The poker can be used to clean resin and debris out the bowl when the screen becomes clogged. We recommend removing the Tar Trap and soaking it, along with the pipe, in isopropyl alcohol overnight to help loosen up any resin before cleaning the pipe with pipe cleaners. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your pipe with hot water and wipe it dry after cleaning.

I don't want to be knocking the product, it's a solid proto pipe with an interesting design. But, its bowl is TINY y'all. If you want a bigger bowl than the trad proto, this ain't it.
Ahh Such a tragic loss my Red eyed Countrymen. To this day, I still think about the time I lost my best friend who was made out of Brass Like C3P0. In a custom adhesive Leather 2 piece on either side of the bowl. Think left thumb and left forefinger Thermal Protection for those intense Safety Meetings.. that required more then One, but always a tight group if you catch my drift Man.
Anyhow My Precious lies somewhere in Timberline Mt Hood Oregon since 1989. I like to think as I use this New and Somehow better version. Deep in the future someone will find this pipe! and Use it. Still filled to this day with some early Kush or Skunk#1.( Thank You Rob my Ski Coach,.for teaching me what good Herb and skis can do).They would marvel at early Human cool Tech and wonder...........
I’ve now had my Voyager going on 2 years. The original was my favorite device throughout the years, I dealt with the cheap eBay copies for a few(horrible junk but you can’t beat the design). I sprang for the Voyager the first time I saw it. The upgrades make cleaning so much easier and less messy. It’s still as tight as it was when new, haven’t touched a screw and it’s very well used. Plus it’s just a beautiful piece.
Well made Works great very pleased 45 years as a machinest I love the metal wotk
