The Tuck-N-Toke

​

Enter the Tuck-N-Toke, a new smoking device created by native Arizonan Scott Gwilliam. Gwilliam's a lifelong skiing and snowboarding enthusiast, and a smoker, too. He says the idea for the Tuck-N-Toke came to him when he was alone on the Alberta ski lift. He took off his gloves and goggles and went through a futile process of trying to light his smoke with windproof lighters, even tucking his head inside his jacket. Nothing worked.

"Very few windproof lighters work at 6,000 feet," Gwilliam says. "Ones that do work are $50 to $100 a piece. I've been skiing since I was eight, and my father and I both experienced problems with windproof lighters...Tuck-N-Toke is pretty much an extension of your mouth. [With regular lighters in wind] you take a lighter and your cigarette, and tuck it down by your stomach to see if the lighter works. So why don't we use something that's an extension of your mouth and shielded by your body?"

Here's how it's supposed to work: The Tuck-N-Toke is a single hookah hose device with a bowl on one end and a mouthpiece on the other. Smokers pack the bowl with whatever they're smoking. Once the bowl's lit, it will theoretically stay lit, and can be smoked or used to light cigarettes, etc.
