I have a three of them. They smoke well and I like the price and look of them. One of them did have the finish bubble a little on the bottom, but in it's defense it was one of the first pipes I bought when I started puffing and I probably smoked it way too hot, leading of the finish problem. If I had to buy them again I'd probably go with a lower end Savinelli instead. To me the quality/consistancy seems a little higher for similar pricing.
