Chillum

A chillum, or chilam, is a straight conical smoking pipe traditionally made of either clay or a soft stone (such as steatite or catlinite).

According to Alfred Dunhill, Africans have long employed chillum-style pipes for smoking cannabis and later tobacco.

[4][5] In Rastafarian meetings called "reasoning sessions" and during Grounation Day celebrations, a chillum is used.

It is made of a cow's horn or conical wood piece, fitted with a long drawtube giving the smoke time to cool before inhalation.

A bong-like chillum equipped with a water filtration chamber is sometimes referred to as a chalice.
