Another newbie question

[AverageSmoker]

If you look closely there is a small hole in the bowl of the pipe, I checked inside the bowl and there is no hole. What do you think caused this, and should I be thinking of replacing this already?
Thanks.

A sand pit.

Yep just a sand pit. Not a problem so keep smoking.

Shouldn't be an issue. Smoke away!
