A Churchwarden style pipe is something that I have wanted for a while now and just finally pulled the trigger. I got it in and found everything in nice packaging. The pipe looked good. I knew based on the price that it wouldn’t be the nicest pipe in the world, but it was a good starting point. The “Beginners guide” that was sent with was great too. I didn’t learn anything knew but I found it a good refresher. I had a great bowl (easily top 4 best bowls) for me. It stayed lit well, not a lot of tongue bite, good flavor from my tobacco and I felt cool doing it. After it was cooled down I sat down to clean all of my pipes. Once I finished with this one I was putting it back together and the lower stem wooden part cracked and became broken so I can’t put it back together correctly. I followed the instructions that were sent and put it back together the same way at the other pipes. But this one cracked. I’m pretty bummed honestly
Burns very hot.
This is a great kit! The pipe is well built, and it comes with all the tools you need to get started.
Careful. I purchased replacement stems for the longer stem I lost from the same company. I had no issues with longer stem, but the shorter bent stem broke the shank/bowl of the pipe. Now I need a new pipe. Novel concept, perhaps a less expensive investment if you are curious about pipe smoking like myself, but pretty pricey for how cheaply they are made.This was my first pipe, and I really enjoy the smoke from a wooden pipe, compared to other methods. I even enjoyed this product for what it was, but I have spent almost triple on what I initially expected to continue to smoke from this pipe. It only lasted 3 months. Maybe consider if this product would be worth it at double the price before purchasing.
This pipe come with a really cool guide for beginners with some advice on choosing your tobacco. I don’t care for the pipe filters because I’m more of a traditionalist, but that said it’s nice for people just getting into this. I do like the silicone things that go over your pipe to prevent biting. Pipe cleaners fit into the mouthpiece great for cleaning after smoking (because of the churchwarden style I would get long cleaners). The stand that it comes with is really minimalistic and holds the pipe very well in my opinion. I really enjoy the silicone piece that helps prevent biting. I would %100 recommend this to a friend.
