What about pipes has caused you to sell, trade, or give them away, or caused you
not to buy them in the first place. Here are a few of the bad pipe traits I've encountered;
how about yours?
1) Airway too narrow so it catches and retains pipe cleaner fluff every time you clean it
2) Crack between the shank and the bowl
3) The filter adapter tube gives off plastic flavor
4) The patent vent in the shank reduces the flavor in the smoke
5) Finish too shiny-plasticy
6) Design and finish too dark, austere, and unattractive
7) Poorly aligned drilling
8) Overall too bulky and heavy
9) Uncomfortable bit
10) Muddy lumpy rustication
11) Too arty-showy so I'd feel like the pipe was smoking me
12) Bowl too heavy so you almost can't clench even to light it
13) Looks really cheap
I guess we could all go on. What are your bad pipe traits?
