A traditional Japanese smoking pipe, kiseru, embodies the refined aesthetic of “iki” — a uniquely Japanese sense of understated elegance.
The metal fittings are all made of nickel silver, and the grate part is made of brass.
The nozzle is narrow and small, making it recommended for women.
Smoking with a kiseru is less about volume and more about appreciating the delicate aroma of the smoke itself.
Traditionally, tobacco is lit using charcoal embers from a tabako-bon (tobacco tray), allowing the smoke to remain pure, without the added scent of an open flame.
Kizami tobacco “Koiki” is not available for purchase on our website. If you wish to obtain it, please purchase it from a tobacco specialty shop.
For customers overseas, finely cut loose-leaf tobacco such as shag tobacco may be used as a substitute.
