Silver Palm Leaf Pipe MK3 (Credit Card Pipe) - Original
The Silver Palm Leaf Pipe MK3 (Credit Card Pipe) - Original is a British-designed and manufactured stainless steel smoking pipe, combining precision engineering with a compact, credit card-sized profile. Originally developed in 1993, this distinctive metal pipe has become recognised for its innovative construction, durability and internal cooling system. Manufactured in Britain using traditional lost-wax casting techniques, the Silver Palm Leaf demonstrates British engineering in a practical, portable design that fits conveniently inside a wallet or pocket.
Made from high-quality 18/8 stainless steel, the Silver Palm Leaf features an internal smoke channel measuring approximately 32cm in length. This extended pathway allows smoke to travel across a greater metal surface area before reaching the mouthpiece, transferring heat to the surrounding steel. The removable magnetic backplate provides direct access to the internal channels for cleaning, while the reusable construction makes this compact metal pipe a practical alternative to more conventional smoking accessories.
Key Features
- British designed and manufactured: Originally developed in 1993, the Silver Palm Leaf was designed and manufactured in Britain using the traditional lost-wax casting process. This manufacturing technique involves creating a mould from a wax model before casting the stainless steel, allowing the intricate internal structure to be formed. The original design was exhibited at London's Design Museum in 1994 and entered the Victoria and Albert Museum's permanent collection in 1995.
- 18/8 stainless steel construction: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 18/8 stainless steel, the Silver Palm Leaf offers a robust alternative to fragile glass or ceramic pipes. Its solid metal body is designed to withstand regular handling, while the stainless steel finish provides a distinctive appearance.
- Extended 32cm cooling channel: An internal labyrinth directs smoke through approximately 32cm of metal channels before reaching the mouthpiece. This extended pathway increases contact with the stainless steel surfaces, allowing heat to dissipate through the body of the pipe without requiring water or additional cooling accessories.
- Compact credit card dimensions: Measuring approximately 78mm x 50mm x 5mm, the Silver Palm Leaf has a slim, rectangular shape designed for convenient storage. Its compact proportions allow it to fit inside a wallet, pocket or small accessory case, making it suitable for customers who prefer portable smoking pipes.
- Removable magnetic backplate: The stainless steel backplate is held securely in place by magnets and can be detached to expose the internal channels. This provides direct access for removing accumulated residue, making routine cleaning considerably easier than with pipes featuring permanently enclosed smoke pathways.
- Reusable design with replaceable screens: The integrated bowl uses a replaceable metal gauze to support suitable dry materials. Compatible Silver Palm Leaf pipe screens are available separately, allowing users to maintain the pipe without replacing the entire unit.
Combining British manufacturing heritage, precision stainless steel engineering and a distinctive credit card design, the Silver Palm Leaf Pipe MK3 remains a practical choice for customers seeking a durable, compact and reusable metal smoking pipe.
