Smoking out of a long stemmed wooden pipe

[EternalReaper]

Hey guys, I'm don't know much about pipes and was just wondering
what it's like to smoke out of a wooden pipe. Also, wouldnt you
burn the wood trying to keep ur weed lit? And how long will you have to
wait before applying flame to the weed again before it goes out, like
how long will it take for the weed to go out?



The reason im wondering all of this is because im looking at pipes on
the internet, preferably the one Gandalf used in lord of the rings,
because it's awesome and its a prety cool pipe, and I want to buy it
but not sure how good smoking weed out of it would be...I would think
ud light the thing on fire before smoking much...please help me...every
bit of info on pipes would be greatly appreciated.
