Best pipes available at the lowest price I've seen.
I'll start by saying this review is from a legitimate fulltime pipe smoker.....several bowls a day of various tobaccos for more than 2 decades. I own MANY pipes from simple corn cobs, to briar, to hardwood and even several block meerschaum.......these out perform them all. Dont pay any attention to those who say these arent for smoking....its simply false. Key things you want in a smoking pipe are a comfortable feel in the hand, light weight, quickly able to dry out and a cool dry smoke each time. Beyond that, it is nice when a pipe stays lit and has a large enough draft hole to provide very little if any resistance to your draw......these pipe hit every mark! No hot bowl burning the hand, no sloppy wet gurgling while you smoke.......even after 6 plus bowls in a single day. NO BRIAR COMES CLOSE! At the price these are selling, there is no way you can go wrong. The wooden stems are a major improvement over plastic, vulcanite, lucite and acrylic as well. Honestly, anyone who receives these pipes in good condition and feels they have grounds to say anything negative about them (personal opinions aside) has no idea what they are talking about and needs to stop writing reviews that sway other shoppers away from a great product. Will purchase more. Will recommend to anyone looking for a pipe. Will use these for years to come before reaching for any other "high end" pipe.
