Tobacco Pipe Model KAF218 Churchwarden Style Wooden Handmade Dublin Shape from Pear Wood with Acrylic Stem, Gift Box with Pouch (Ukraine)

I love this Churchwarden pipe. I had actually bought mine quite a while ago with the Tree of Gondor engraved on it. The bowl tends to burn pretty hot. It would be easy to burn right through if you’re not careful. It can even start to sweat, and some of the stain may come off on your hand. I’ve tried to build up a decent cake on the inside to help remedy it, but it can still burn pretty hot. I think it may be best as more of a prop for cosplay, or even just a collector’s item. It’d be a shame to burn up such a wonderful pipe, so I tend to smoke my other pipe more often than this Churchwarden. That being said, I still can’t bring myself to give it anything less than 5 stars, because it IS still a wonderful pipe! Again, mine was bought quite a long while ago, so maybe since then this has been fixed with these newer ones.

Der Pfeinkopf und Mundstück fühlen sich billig und leicht an.

Because of the cone-shaped cup, tobacco tends to compress inside it restricting air circulation and requiring more effort to smoke. When you wash the pipe paint goes off with water. Would not smoke with it nor would I buy it again. Too bad, I loved the long pipe initially.

Purchased for my husband; pipe arrived promptly, well packaged. It is a beautiful piece of work. He broke it in according to the instructions and is enjoying smoking it daily. Draws easily and smokes clean, bowl does not get too hot. This pipe is well worth the money.

The draw could be better, I have concerns with the durability of the finish and the bowl does get a little warm. At it's price point it is decent. Perhaps a good pipe to take out with you. I could handle losing this a lot better than my nicer pipes. I am a tinkerer so refinishing and improving the draw would just be a project for me.
