Mr. Brog Churchwarden - Argo Tobacco Pipe - Model No: 16 Tabor Pecan - Pear Wood Roots - Hand Made

I decided to get my husband a church warden-style pipe as he was thinking about trying a pipe again after a not-so-good experience with the first one. The pipe arrived in pretty good time and was in good shape...except for one important "flaw." The tenon was totally blocked by some sort of clay or hardened ceramic-like dust! I googled the situation and submitted a question here on Amazon, but to no avail. We finally decided to simply get a 3/32" drill bit and very carefully, using light finger pressure only, see if the material could be reamed out. To our surprise, the plug of material turned into a micro-powder not unlike talcum and we were able to completely clear the passage.This all being said, the pipe is beautiful, but I'm docking a star for the lack of quality control and another star for the very loose fitting where the shank connects to the bowl neck. It's so loose that the pipe must be held by the bowl. If he holds the pipe by the neck, the bowl falls off! Really?? Otherwise, my husband tells me that the pipe appears to do what it's supposed to and the smoke is definitely much cooler than with his meerschaum .

Very satisfied with product. All was received as promised.However, my dad does not like itFor seniors, you might rethink such a long stem .... My fault

Smokes great! Looks beautiful! I had one minor problem, so I simply contacted Mr. Brog via email & they resolved the issue in a manner way above and beyond my expectations. Great pipe, great customer service! Mr. Brog really does care about it's customers as I have witnessed first hand. I am very excited to do business with this company again in the future!

This is a very excellent pipe, very enjoyable to sit on my porch and puff on.

Pipe nicely made, smokes well, but in haled wood dust when first smoked, and had to clean wood swarf out of semi blocked mouthpiece, would NOT buy Mr Brog again!
