I don't own a Morgan Bones yet. BUT I recently noticed they have Dog Bones. Now I have always been a fan of dogs smoking, drinking , and playing cards. 🎴🐶🚬But 3 pipes for 5 bucks each? 🤔 If you added stems, you could smoke them. Now I wonder, what quality are these pipes? I mean supposedly bones are off casts / "seconds" of a higher quality manufacturer basically recycled. So it's been rumored. WHAT on earth would Dog Bones be then?? They still have the "Choose Finish" on page, BUT only in text. I sorta wanted a Lightning Finish. ⚡

Chris Morgan’s business savvy continues to impress me. I know that this will sound backhanded but I am genuinely impressed that this man can seem to sell anything.

Yeah exactly. Seems like he’s selling things at the right price points and people know that they’re getting. A very win-win-win situation for him, the customer, and the manufacturer.
Precisely the best commerce is when it works like that. Everyone feels good about the exchange. Although I don't dig his pipes I could consider getting a bones pipe if I ever loss my camping pipes.

Pretty sure they have holes drilled through the bottom of the bowl so you’d have to repair that before smoking them. I’d thought about getting a stem for them myself, then zoomed in on the pics posted.
For the price of getting the stems & effort of filling the hole it’d be easier to just buy a bones. But if you’ve got the tools & materials, go for it

Is anyone not reading the description and looking at the picture of the pipe with a hole in it? 🤔

He’s calling these ‘Off Casts’, think about that for a second. He doesn’t even consider the briar worthy of making these into $40 pipes, and that should tell you something.

@Dreadlock Holmes they are dog chew toys. ;)

If you’re a man on a budget, nothing wrong with that, but I would either look for deals on inexpensive Estate Pipes, or buy new inexpensive pipes instead.

Save your $15...

P.S. @Briar Lee hook this boy up with a nice Lee and @telescopes back this boy up here too, on those nice inexpensive Lees! :)

A nice Lee estate must be floating around out there... 🤔

If he's still using Molina rejects, their finished pipes are usually under $60.

He drills holes in them but i guess you could repair them. Only thing i could not get out my mind is, my dog mistaking my good pipe on a stand or table and chewing on it thinking it was a bone. 👎
How bad is the hole if it's in the bowl? Is small and hell, it might be covred up by enough tobacco. If the draft hole is actually set right....
