    Do Not Overlook Chinese Pipes!

    I use to feel lucky to be Canadian, until the Liberal government started prohibiting all of our firearms. We can no longer purchase any type of handgun, AR platform, and most semi-automatics have all been prohibited... Hopefully that all changes after the next election...

    Anyone here know much about muxiang?

    I'd like to take this opportunity to show you that you cannot put all Chinese pipes in the same boat, and to certainly not avoid a pipe because of its Chinese origin. I know nothing of this particular pipe maker, only that he goes (went?) by the name "Cai Dou" and is of Chinese make. It might...
