Carey Magic Inch: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:07, 25 April 2021

The "Magic Inch" System has been a Carey's tradition for over 50 years, with over 1,000,000 sold. The "Magic Inch" is an air chamber inserted between the imported briar bowl and the vented mouthpiece which allows cool outside air to enter and mix with the warm tobacco smoke inside the "Magic Inch" chamber. Tobacco tars, oils and moisture, are squeezed out of the smoke. The residue drops to the bottom of the chamber and is absorbed by the Papyrate sleeve. From its rich tradition and thousands of satisfied customers, this pipe is sure to be your smoking favorite for life.

-Carey "Magic Inch" pipes have been made and sold by the EA Carey Smokeshop since 1948.  Carey claims to have sold "hundreds of thousands" of these pipes.  The Magic Inch System consists of a ventilator and a filter.  An air chamber, called the "Magic Inch", is inserted between the bowl and the vented mouthpiece. It is vented at the top and at the bottom, which allows cool outside air to enter and mix with the smoke inside the chamber.  This reportedly causes condensation to occur.  Tars, oils and moisture drop to the bottom of the chamber, to be absorbed by the Papyrate II sleeve.  In theory, the filter spreads the moisture over its entire surface so it is exposed to evaporation by the outside air.
