Slipstream Absinthe Pipe: The Drinking Ritual

Dear Absintheur, this is our latest arrival, the Slipstream Absinthe Pipe! This unique pipe was invented to bring together a convenient modern day Absinthe experience that embraces the traditional roots of the Absinthe louche ritual. Sipping Absinthe with this pipe is a real experience! It creates the best louche ever! We especially like this absinthe accessory as it was invented by a friend of us, Dimitri. 6 years ago we met at the “Fete de l’Absinthe” Absinthe festival in Boveresse (Switzerland). At this time, Dimitri already had some ideas how one can optimize the louche experience. Nevertheless, it took some years till the first prototype was available.

Now, 6 years later, fortunately the vague idea became a real product, the Slipstream Absinthe Pipe is now available for sale!
