MJ Arsenal Alpine Base Camp Hand Pipe

The MJ Arsenal Alpine Base Camp Hand Pipe combines clear borosilicate glass with walnut detailing to create a compact dry-herb pipe with a more refined look than a conventional all-glass spoon.

Part of MJ Arsenal's Alpine collection, the Base Camp uses natural wood accents alongside the glass body to give the pipe a warmer, outdoors-inspired finish while keeping the layout simple and practical.

At approximately 12.1cm long x 4.8cm wide, it sits comfortably in the hand and is compact enough to keep in a storage box, drawer or pipe case without taking up much room.

Borosilicate Glass with Walnut Accents

The main body is made from borosilicate glass, a material commonly used for quality smoking glassware because it handles heat and temperature changes better than ordinary glass.

The walnut detailing gives the Base Camp its distinctive Alpine look without making the design overly complicated. Instead of relying on bright colours or printed decoration, MJ Arsenal combines clear glass with natural wood for a cleaner, more understated finish.

Like any glass pipe, the Base Camp still needs to be handled carefully. Borosilicate glass is durable and heat resistant, but it can still crack or break if dropped or struck against a hard surface.

Compact 12.1cm Size

The Base Camp measures approximately 4.75 x 1.9 inches, or around 12.1 x 4.8cm.

This gives you a proper handheld pipe without the extra bulk of a bubbler or water pipe. There is no water chamber to fill and no removable bowl or downstem to assemble before use.

18mm Built-In Bowl & Front Carb

The Base Camp is specified with an approximately 18mm built-in bowl, giving you a practical chamber for legal dry herbs.

A front-positioned carb provides straightforward airflow control. Cover the carb while drawing through the mouthpiece, then release it when you want to increase airflow through the pipe.

The simple one-piece layout means the bowl, carb, stem and mouthpiece are all integrated into the design, so there are no separate parts to fit before use.

Part of the MJ Arsenal Alpine Collection

The Base Camp sits within MJ Arsenal's Alpine range, which combines the brand's glasswork with natural wood accents across a selection of smoking accessories.

It is a good option for anyone who already likes MJ Arsenal glass but wants something with a slightly more natural, less clinical appearance.

• Avoid soaking the entire pipe in alcohol or strong cleaning solution.
• Keep strong cleaning products away from the walnut accents where possible.
