Loop
A loop pipe bends its airway into a closed loop, which adds length and a little cooling in a compact shape. See more shapes in hand pipes.
The Looped Airway
A loop pipe bends its stem into a closed curve. The extra length cools the smoke a little in a shape that still fits in your hand. The Ash Catcher Loop adds our ash-trapping mouthpiece.
More shapes are in hand pipes.
Is a loop pipe harder to clean?
Slightly. A bendable pipe cleaner follows the curve, and a longer soak helps.
Is the loop just for looks?
Mostly, but the longer airway does cool the smoke a little.
