Anyone interested in getting one of these needs to know that the one I received had serious draw issues related to the smoke channel in the stem.
I ran a rotary needle file into the tenon and through the stem to clear alot of sharp edges and what I consider to be production residue.Little tufts from my pipe cleaners were getting tore off,and lodged in the channel. The shank channel was OK.Now it draws great,and is a good smoking and overall attractive pipe.20230205_184553.jpg

That is a neat little pipe! I had to do some filing on my Rossi recently. Like thin briar strands still hanging on in the shank. Ugh. Cheap price, cheap pipe. Good smoker though.
