Take A Smoke

History Of The Genuine Sneak A Toke

In 1976 I had a friend named Herbie. Herbie was a guy born and raised on a farm in a small town in Indiana. He was one of those guys that could figure out and fix any problem with any engine. But he couldn’t roll a joint. So one day he took a metal tool that was used in automotive air conditioning system repair, cut it, drilled it, pushed a couple of screens in, and forced a rubber distributor cap nipple (before electronic ignition) on one end.

One of 64 original prototypes is pictured on the right.

He showed it to me and we filled it with some cleaned-up seedy, Steamy smoking material, most likely from Mexico. That was all that was available to us poor folks back then. It smoked like a monster! And it put itself out after each hit so you could drop it into your pocket immediately. And it held at least a dozen hits. I said, “Herbie, we can sell these!”. And he said, “Go ahead”. So I did. And that’s how Sneak A Toke came to be. Still, thinking about the travel tobacco pipe and how to carry it, just forget and know what is a toke? Get a toke from us, and get the best smoking experience in travel.
