Good evening!
Just got this little estate Austrian meer in, nice and small and figure it'll be a good pipe for a quick smoke or for sampling new tobaccos.
Bowl itself is light as a ping pong ball. Only trouble is, the stem is slightly skewed to the side.
I suspect that this may have been the case in production, as it is not loose and the case seems to have wear consistent with the skew.
Not really a huge deal, I suppose, but I'd kind of like it to be straight. Any tips on adjusting stem fit, or would I have to have a new stem made completely to get it straight and snug?
