Metal pipes are durable, pocket-sized smoking pipes machined from aluminium, brass, or stainless steel — built to survive daily carry where glass would shatter. Azarius has been stocking metal pipes since 1999, and we carry nine models right now: discreet disguise pipes, cooling maze pipes, solid brass pocket pipes, wooden-metal hybrids, and stainless steel bowl screens to keep them clean.

Buy Metal Pipes — Pocket-Sized, Built to Last
Metal pipes exist for one reason: glass breaks, metal doesn't. If you're carrying a pipe in your jacket, your festival bag, or the glovebox, a metal pipe will outlive three glass spoons and shrug off the drop that would've ended any of them. The trade-off is taste — metal runs hotter and less flavour-pure than glass or wood, which is why the best metal pipes either stay small (quick solo hits) or add clever engineering to cool the smoke down.
Our range covers both approaches. The Metal Pipe Mushroom is the smallest — a 3-part anodised pipe disguised as a tiny mushroom ornament, available in seven colours. At the other end, Red-Eye's Amazed and King Amazed models pack a 32cm or 550mm internal maze into a body barely longer than a lighter, cooling every draw without water or screens. The Brass Pipe Small and the Metal Wooden Pipe Smart sit in the middle — no gimmicks, just honest pocket pipes that clean apart in seconds.
Metal Pipe Comparison — Which One to Buy
| Pipe | Length | Material | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Pipe Mushroom | ~5 cm assembled | Anodised aluminium | Discretion — looks like an ornament |
| Brass Pipe Small | 10.5 cm | Solid brass | Pocket carry, weight in hand |
| Metal Wooden Pipe Smart | 11 cm | Metal + wood | Quick solo sessions, easy cleaning |
| Metal Pipe Amazed | 8.2 cm | Aluminium, internal maze | Cooler draws in a small body |
| Metal Pipe King Amazed | 14.3 cm | Anodised aluminium | Maximum cooling without water |
| Metal Wooden Pipe Refined | 23.5 cm | Wood + metal bowl | Longer pipe, pure herb tokes |
Read the table by length first, then by what matters most to you — discretion, cooling, or build. A 5cm mushroom pipe and a 23.5cm straight pipe are both "metal pipes" but they solve different problems.
What We Carry
- Disguise pipes — the Metal Pipe Mushroom, a 3-part anodised aluminium pipe that unscrews into a functional pipe smaller than your thumb. Seven colours.
- Maze-cooled pipes — Red-Eye's Metal Pipe Amazed (32cm internal path) and the King Amazed (550mm path) use a labyrinth interior to cool smoke without water.
- Solid brass pipes — the Brass Pipe Small, 10.5cm of machined brass with a removable mouthpiece. No moving parts to fail.
- Metal-wood hybrids — the Metal Wooden Pipe Smart (11cm) and Refined (23.5cm) pair a metal bowl with wooden sections for a warmer mouthfeel.
- Replacement screens — Black Leaf stainless steel pipe screens in 12.7mm, 15mm, and 20mm (dome-shaped for conical bowls), plus hanging spoon screens in 15mm and 18mm for bongs.
How to Choose Your Metal Pipe
Start with size. If you want something that disappears into a coin pouch, buy the Metal Pipe Mushroom or the Brass Pipe Small — both under 11cm, both survive the washing machine if you forget them in a pocket. If you care more about how the smoke actually tastes and feels, step up to a Red-Eye Amazed: the maze interior drops the temperature noticeably, and a hit from a King Amazed is closer to a bong rip than a pipe draw.
Skip the wooden-metal hybrids if you're rough on your gear — the wooden sections scuff. Get one if you want the warmth of wood without the maintenance of a proper wooden pipe. And whichever pipe you order, grab a pack of Black Leaf stainless steel screens at the same time. Five screens cost less than a coffee and they'll keep ash out of your airway for months. When in doubt, start with the Brass Pipe Small — it's the most honest pipe in the range and the one we'd hand a first-time buyer without hesitating.
Pair your metal pipe with Black Leaf stainless steel screens, a storage tin, and a decent grinder — the three things that make any pocket pipe actually work day-to-day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are metal pipes safe to smoke from?
Yes, when made from anodised aluminium, stainless steel, or solid brass — all three are inert at smoking temperatures. Avoid no-name pipes with painted interiors or unknown plating; stick to proper brands like Red-Eye and Black Leaf.
Do metal pipes taste different from glass?
Slightly — metal runs hotter and adds a faint mineral note that glass doesn't. Maze pipes like the Red-Eye Amazed minimise this by cooling the smoke before it reaches your mouth. If flavour purity is your top priority, a wooden or glass pipe wins; if durability matters more, buy metal.
How do you clean a metal pipe?
Unscrew it into its parts, soak in isopropyl alcohol (90%+) for 20 minutes, scrub with a pipe cleaner or cotton bud, rinse with hot water, air dry. Take-apart designs like the Metal Pipe Mushroom and the Metal Wooden Pipe Smart are built for exactly this — no hidden chambers to trap resin.
What size screen fits my metal pipe?
Most small metal pipes take a 12.7mm or 15mm screen — measure the bowl diameter at the widest point. Black Leaf's dome-shaped stainless steel screens come in 12.7, 15, and 20mm packs of five, and the dome shape actually sits snugly in conical bowls instead of flattening out like mesh discs.
Which metal pipe is best for travel?
The Metal Pipe Mushroom — it's smaller than a thumb, unscrews into three parts, and genuinely looks like a keyring ornament. For something with a bit more heft, order the Brass Pipe Small; 10.5cm, solid brass, survives anything.
