This is a beautifully made Churchwarden Style Long Stem Tobacco Pipe Set. This comes in a nice gift box with all of the needed accessories for any beginner or collector. This is any Gentleman's Vintage Treasure and comes with a high-heeled metal stand for the pipe to rest on. The Churchwarden Pipe can then be displayed to show woodwork, craftmanship and the wonderful quality.
Everything showed up as advertised, however the pipe cracked the first time I placed the stem into the pipe.
I am not a smoker, but I have to admit to a great fondness for the aesthetic of the pipe. I got this to display on my desk in my library room--it adds a certain touch of victorian sophistication that I love! It's made of beautiful dark wood, and comes with a sleek, low profile display stand. The pipe ships in two pieces, but it was very easy to assemble.My brother in law got one of these as well, and he uses it as an accessory for his renaissance fair costume, and it's a GREAT finishing touch to his outfit.
I love this pipe. It has the long stem like a wizard’s pipe which always gets compliments. It has a fun shape.The pipe is beautiful! The bowl is real wood that has a gorgeous grain pattern.The interior of the bowl has a carbon treatment to keep the wood protected, reduce heat, and reduce harshness. The stem is plastic and can break easily at the connection point if it’s removed too forcefully.It smokes well, providing smooth consistent pulls. There are regular silver screens along with the basket-type screens included, which I really appreciate because I can use the cage screen at the bottom to leave space where the smoke escapes to prevent it from getting blocked. That configuration with the regular silver screen on top creates amazing smoke flow. It also allows for adjusting the depth of the bowl.There are plenty of accessories ensure that you can preform everything to keep the pipe clean and never clogged.I really like the stand. It has a simple, stylized design with a mirror finish that looks great. Without the stand the pipe would constantly fall over.
This is a really thoughtful churchwarden kit. It makes for an excellent gift set. The looks are outstanding and the wood quality is great. It's on the inexpensive side too for everything you're getting. Easily recommended for a starter set or a gift!
