This mouthblown and free formed brandy pipe with aubergine coloured head has its origin in France where the rich enjoyed their expensive spirits in this manner in the 17. century although those cognac pipes where made of pewter or porcelain. The thuringian glass blowers make this glass variety almost as long.
Today the brandy pipe is used in two ways firstly it is sayed to improve the consistency of brandy or cognac if warmed to body temperature and enjoyed through the straw, the other way it is often used is a party gag where spirits are offered in the brandy pipe to unsuspecting guests, because the spirits are warmed if drunk through a straw the acohol takes effect much quicker.
It doesnt matter what the brandy pipe is used for but it remains a decorative piece of history.
