Durable Tobacco Pipe

This pipe serves the purpose. If you are looking at pipes in this price range, don't expect a whole lot at all - and be thankful for what you get.This pipe is constructed of a rock-hard, plastic-like substance (simmilar to the Bakelite of the 50's) with a beautiful wood-looking finish on it. Very glossy, like a highly-polished pipe. It is very heat resistant, and the finish holds up well. Although not wood, it seasons well, actually. Just don't wash it - just wipe out the tar and other residue. The o-ring tar blocker is made of chrome-plated plastic, but seems to weather the heat of a pipe well.The worst feature of this pipe is the metal bowl. It does not seat well in the body, and the leaks around it leads to a weak draw. You have to puff like a steam engine to keep the thing lit. You don't get a nice mouthful of smoke, and can't do a 'gentle draw' to keep it lit for a long time. I would reccomend putting a screen in it, although other pipes of this type say you don't need to. Those holes are big - and this is press-fit, so taking that bowl out and getting it back in is a chore.You can smoke with it, and it does look pretty in a pipe rack, but if you want a really good pipe, try a solid wood one for a bit more. Otherwise, just be glad it doesn't melt in your hand, and that's it.

Just received this pipe and I am beyond puzzled by the less than stellar reviews. While it is kind of cheesy looking, plastic and metal indeed, it is the BEST functioning pipe I own! And my others are much nicer looking. Lightweight, no hands easy...I look like my great grandfather Ole Iverson who sailed from Norway with a pipe like this in his mouth. His was wood though.....if you want an easier draw, discard the filter/plug and replace it with a Dr Grabows. Virtually no tongue bite even when its really hot.Well worth it..if youexpect it to last forever for $1.59, your just dumb.

It's alright. You can't put a filter in it. And even if you use real pipe tobacco it's still hard to hit. And juice does build up still it's a Bitch to clean. Save up and go to a actual pipe store and get a corn cobb pipe. Same price. But if you want to be a wise ass and walk around with it. Its the perfect pipe.

This purchase is definitely worth the money. No more though. Its very durable. Its fallen off my desk a few times now on to the concrete floor in my garage and nothing has happened. It draws perfect, not too harsh at all.There is definitely no wow factor about this piece but if you have a few bucks just laying around why not?

Purchased for a photoshoot

This is a nice looking pipe and it feels good in my hand. These are so inexpensive that you wouldn't cry if you lost one. It seems very durable too. I was kind of put off by the metallic bowl on this pipe which is why I gave it four stars.

Before I bought this pipe, I was never given much notice and talked down to in meetings at work. Now, since I bring my pipe with me to meetings, and where I need to exert an air sophistication and superiority, not only do people listen to me, they are to intimidated to argue with me. I can win an argument without having to say a word. I just put my pipe in mouth, hold the bowl with my right hand and scowl knowingly at them and bam! Argument won.

This is a cheap, nasty piece of crap. The bowl gets way to hot and if you try to use it you will be constantly inhaling pieces of shaved plastic and plastic tasting tobacco. I guess it would be ideal for kids and fancy dress, but this is truely a horrendous pipe and not even worth the price.If this was the only pipe I had and found out the world would end in half an hour, I still wouldn't use this. I would not want to slip my mortal coils with the taste of cheap chinese plastic in my mouth and burn marks on my fingers from the poorly designed bowl.
