So I recently just ordered this pipe. It arrived today and I'm reviewing it as one star. Because it seems that towns and has gone down Hill. I remember ordering a pipe from them back in 2011. Had a deeper bowl, it had a pirate skull and cross bones on it. And it was a church warden pipe. But the stem was made out of wood. The pipe bull itself was made out of clay which I was fine with and it actually smoked it was a proper pipe. This one a stamp is made out of bamboo. It looks like it was shaved right before shipping, right at the part of the stem that goes into the pipe. And it's smokes horribly. It looks like it's just a costume droid pipe. Just for show nothing more.
I'm a smoker I like smoking a pipe. I've hadd terrible Walmart pipes, terrible. Third party's website pipes that after about 4 or 5 smokes, the plastic that is made out of just brakes. Ice now smoked at a good 10 to 20 times and it's just not drying. It's just a terrible pipe to smoke. I expected better from Townsend. But yet the pipe was 20 bucks so I guess I should've realized that it was a hunk of junk. And sorry, if you're reading this and it's a little messed up. I'm using speech to text on my phone. Also, it's more difficult to type because of my MS which is affecting my eye, so I'm using speech to text. And the bowl is actually quite small. And I'm slowly trying to replace everything that was lost. But it looks like Townsend made stuff more expensive and cheaper quality.
