Gets too hot to hold on to, had to use a vice to get the stem out. waste of money.
I opened the box and tried to change the stem. Very difficult removing the brown stem it came with. I tried to insert the black stem that also came with it. The shank cracked on both sides. Had it for all of 30 seconds. Might be a decent pipe, I wouldn’t know. Definitely fragile.
The wood bowl looks awesome and really has character. The pipe comes with the accessories needed to keep the pipe in good working condition. I like that it comes with some cage screens to make the bowl the right depth for specific preferences. I end up using both of the cage screens to effectively reduce the bowl in half while still allowing for good smoke flow. I would definitely recommend getting a pipe stand since the shape of this pipe makes it prone to falling over easily.
