PeterL Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Howdy Wormywoods, Hey has anyone used the Absinthe sipping pipes? I don't like the idea of the crushed ice, but maybe a Jade 1901 Slushie is yummy...then again maybe it degrades a fine spirit...any thoughts??? They're intesting looking.

ETexas Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Me thinks it would be like drinking absinthe through a straw uck no thanks. I'll have mine the old way in a glass made for the magic liquid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilson Report post Posted April 29, 2008 I had to Google that to find out what the hell you were talking about. Now that I have seen one, I can not help but wonder why one would sip czechsinth from something like that when it taste so nasty that you pretty much have to shoot it to get it down.

Wilson Report post Posted April 29, 2008 After sitting here and looking at the thing, it really doesn't look like it holds more than a shot anyway. The first police officer that saw you with it would arrest you for drug paraphernalia cause he would think it was a crack pipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selmac Report post Posted April 29, 2008 They're gimmicks. But you might be able to drink a flaming shot in it without burning your face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterL Report post Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Ha! an Absinthe Crack Pipe...too funny. Well thanks for the info, I'll take my simple slow drip of ice water and my gorgeous swirling louche, thanks for the feedback Edited April 29, 2008 by PeterL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
density Report post Posted April 29, 2008 why would one sip czechsinth from something like that when it taste so nasty that you pretty much have to shoot it to get it down? A straw can work like a shot, the trick is to get the junk down the throat without having it touch the tongue. and it looks like drug paraphanalia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilson Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Anyone familiar with hand raising parrots, knows the trick of tube feeding the babies with a syringe that has a tube in the place of a needle. You put the rubber tube down the birds throat and just inject the food directly into their stomach. We could market our own tube feeder that could be used to get KOSG down the throat without touching the tongue. Call it the King Of Spirits Injector. Now, you can finally finish that bottle of KOSG. Just $99.99. But wait! There's more. Call in the next 10 minutes and we will double your order. That's two King Of Spirits Injectors for $99.00. What a bargain!

Jonathan D. Report post Posted April 29, 2008 and it looks like drug paraphanalia. That's no accident. Goes hand in hand with thujone-hyping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Anything that implies that absinthe should be sipped on neat is not something I'd support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pt447 Report post Posted April 29, 2008 So I presume there's no historical precedent for this silliness? Just stupid "let's lump a wonderful harmless beverage with crack" rhetoric... The worst thing is that most people will believe the hype they build because it's already so notorious. Like people who think harmless potheads go setting cars on fire cause they go crazy with bloodlust... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilson Report post Posted April 29, 2008 So I presume there's no historical precedent for this silliness? Just stupid "let's lump a wonderful harmless beverage with crack" rhetoric... Not that I am aware of. I hate when the czechsinth pushers us the psychedelic / hallucinogenic / drug culture to sell their wares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hectma Report post Posted April 30, 2008 The first police officer that saw you with it would arrest you for drug paraphernalia... I was at a hostel in London a few years ago and Sebor delivered a case of those pipes to give away as promotional items. Guess what most of them got turned into...
