Hand carved clay Chillums

A chillum is a traditional method of smoking that has been used for many centuries in India. They are usually made from clay and come with a filter stone, as opposed to a pipe screen like modern smoking accessories.
Chillums come in a range of sizes including small, medium and large and have various spiritual carvings on them from elephants to cobras and peacocks. Each chillum is handmade so there may be slight variations compared to the pictures.
To smoke a chillum simply, hold it upright, making an airtight seal around the base with your hand and inhale through your hand, easy! Be sure not to inhale straight from the chillum because it can get extremely hot.
Shiva also has a range of spare Chillum Stones if you should even loose yours. Each pack contains four chillum stones that will fit any size of chillum.

These are so cool and really don’t look like a smoking accessory
