I cleaned it out and packed it, (it came with a special packing tool) and I sparked it up, and man what a hit. That double Venturi effect really does work. This pipe came from Jack himself at the Champs tradeshow in Las Vegas. Maybe 98, or 99. Fun times.
I just need to get some jack herrer seeds and I can maybe do it some justice.
Met him at a metaphysical book store in fairbanks alaska. My avatar is the high times he signed for me. Wish I would have gotten one of the pipes and had it signed as well
Hell yeah! Glad you got to meet him. All his pipes are handmade and have his signature branded on the bottom. There were some knock offs at the head shop I worked at in 2000, but they didn’t compare at all in quality. Wish I had more than just one left. Its a pretty handy piece.
I had a third cousin (my moms cousins husband, I think that makes him a 3rd) named jack herer who was a cop in chicago area. Always made me laugh when I kept seeing the name pop up in high times in the late 90’s.
That signed high times is probably worth a small mint.
This does invoke the venturi effect! I still have mine from back in the day. Probably got same time as Rhino. I had the pleasure of Jack Herer himself show me how to load it during an hour long smoke session at his hotel room in California(edit, it was VEGAS) around 1997-2000? I think I still have the literature that came with it.
Alright everyone… exactly one year and a day later I found the documentation. Pretty amazing I have kept this for around 25 years. It’s a little stained but I scanned it anyway. So much more than a simple wooden pipe. @Rhino_buddy check this out.
I have one of these pipes that was left with Leslie Cabarga by Jack Herer many moons ago, I wound up picking it up for a Benji. I’ll post a pic when I’m home from work.
I wish someone would try to make them again. With the blessing of the family I would love to try but I don’t know anything about making wood pipes except for a few YouTubers I watch make them, but thats just because I am amazed. If I could get a couple new jack pipes, I would in a second. 25 years and I have never cleaned the thing, resin just doesn’t stick to it. To be honest I rarely use it because I have so many glass pipes but it is the perfect travel pipe. I think I refrain from using it all the time because I don’t want it to finally get dirty or lost/broken. I should bust it out more. I dont think it can get dirty.
