Joyoldelf Tobacco Pipe, Handmade Ebony Smoking pipe for Beginners - Pipe Stand and Pouch Included

I've bought quite a few 10 to 20 dollar pipes off Amazon. I'm a heavy pipe smoker after switching off of cigarettes so I use my pipes multiple times every few days (I rotate pipes)This is my favorite of my cheaper pipes and it rivals some of my more expensive pipes. It's got a nice feel in the hand, the bowl gets a little hot when you really puff on it, but with a regular slow burn it feels quite nice in the hand.Instantly on my first smoke, I knew it was gonna be a good one. Most of the pipes I buy for under 20 bucks I use once and hang up to never use again. This guy is in my regular rotation. There is only one other pipe I bought for this price point that I still use... and if I had to choose between the two it would be this one hands down.I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for, but in this case, you get a bit more. I love this pipe. It looks good, basic but classy, it smokes well, and it is comfortable. Its got some weight to it, but its not an uncomfortable amount to hold in the jaw.I think it is a great value and great pipe for beginners and seasoned smokers alike.

I've been looking for a nice tobacco pipe, but I keep seeing reviews of the pipe cracking which has been throwing me off. Glad I didn't listen to those reviews. It makes me think some people are not using the pipe the correct way or using it for other things than tobacco. I put my filter in there which is very easy. Top part can be taken off and put back on very easy and snug. Throw some pipe tobacco in there, and do a quick light with my torch lighter that takes like 1 second, and then smoke. Very easy, and the pipe is never hot on the outside no matter if I pack it all the way and burn the whole top of it with my torch lighter. Makes me think people could be using a regular lighter and destroying it by keeping it on there for too long to try and light it. Make your life easier and get the correct lighter and enjoy your pipe. I don't see how it can crack as it never even heats up that hot to permeate the wooden pipe. It's made of durable wood, I think it said pear wood, correct me if I am wrong, but that is one of the best woods you can get for a wooden pipe when it comes to durability. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Neat little wooden stand does its job and carrying case, have yet to use it, but it feels nice and would use it if I were to transport it. Thanks for the great product.

Pretty good value for money - I use it for tobacco. I also smoke pot, and this pipe would not be my first choice for that because it just gets too hot - plus, the bowl is darned big making it a pricey, wasteful fill. Because of Covid, I bought a variety of pipes recently so that friends have assigned pipes here that they must leave at my home each in its own freezer baggie. So while some may think a large-bowl pipe best for groups, I disagree. My friends were amazed when I issued them pipes - and were also very much pleased with my solution to an awkward social situation a couple weeks ago. So I bought this pipe strictly for tobacco.It smokes very well, but this is one very deep bowl - I find it difficult to smoke the last 1/4-to-3/8" of tobacco if I fill it too much. Other than that caveat, it's a pretty decent pipe - we'll see how it holds up. "Pretty decent pipe" may sound like I mean you could do a lot better, but for the money "pretty decent pipe" means it's well worth consideration - you won't do a lot better. Smokes about like a Grabow briar. It's also a pretty nice -looking pipe for the money, and fits the hand and teeth well. Now I'm going outside to smoke some nice, mild burley.Of course, briar pipes are more durable and heat resistant than their wood counterparts, but rare at $20 - if it's a gift, it's worth stepping up to a briar (which begin at about double that) unless you know the recipient likes wood pipes. The pipe smokes well, but an inexperienced pipe smoker is apt to burn one out. Ironically, perhaps, the pipe will serve an experienced smoker well. Matter of technique, which has a learning curve an experienced smoker has already picked up, but most such smokers use briar. Sometimes cob or clay - wood fans are rarer.Mine had a little bubbling - very little - near the forward base of the bowl. That said, I don't expect perfection at this price. It looks good, feels good in hand and teeth, and smokes well. For someone new to pipes, a very inexpensive cob (Missouri Meerschaum, among others) would be cheaper to destroy while working on smoking technique. Thus, for a newbie, I'd choose either to spend less and learn with a cob, or spend more and get a briar.And all that said: As an experienced pipe smoker with a few briars, three cobs and this pear-wood, I will admit that I like it better than a cob and it is inexpensive enough that I use it as a beater pipe when I'm going somewhere it could be damaged or stolen. It gets into the rotation then, and that makes it very good value. Also, it is possible that some who report bubbling in finish may have caused it themselves by not using a long, cool smoke, but huffing continuously. Note the word possible.I don't know how they can make it and price it this affordably, but they do a nice job for two sawbucks. Recommended with caveats, as noted above.

Wonderful quality great price
