    MM Quality Expectations

    This post is in no way one of complaint. It’s hard to complain about a $6 pipe. I’m just curious what your expectations of qc are with MM, and if you’d accept these pipes, toss them, or ask for replacement? Pipe 1 Pipe 2

    Pipe Cleaners

    As a follow up question: do you guys use regular and bristled? I’ve always avoided bristles since they seem too abrasive (and damaging to stems).

    ***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

    Oom Paul/ Mark Tinskey

    My Peterson pub pipe has a hard time getting a pipe cleaner through too. Just takes some finagling. Worth it for the ease of clenching for such a large bowl.
