By way of brief background, I often smoke meerschaum pipes. As you may know, they color over time from smoke and nicotine oil in the tobacco, but one old saw suggests that one can make a "smoke jar" to color a pipe by letting it sit in a cloud of smoke, regularly refreshed.
The traditional method for doing this is to open a jar, blow pipe tobacco smoke into it, and close the lid. This seems like a poor way to go from an efficiency standpoint, but I lack the expertise to know how to make a better one.
So here's what I'm asking, and thanks in advance for any help y'all can give. I'd like to take a large glass jar and equip it with a one way vent and hose I can blow smoke into, and I guess I'd need another vent for the clean air or old smoke to be forced out?
I'm honestly not sure this is even remotely possible. If it is, I have no idea what you'd call the two vents (?) needed to make it work. Even if I did, I'd be unsure as to proper placement (obviously drilling a metal lid would be easier than drilling a glass jar, for example, could I do that?) In the alternative, is there a better way to do what I'm trying poorly to explain?
Again, thanks for any help you can give on this one, Reddit!
