Anyone Familiar with H.I.S. Pipes?

[Infantry23]

I was at a B&M today and they had some H.I.S. pipes that looked nice and were very inexpensive. Anyone have any experience with them? If so, how did you like them?

I have an H.I.S. churchwarden. It has a small bowl and I use it for smoking flakes. Smokes fine, but the bowl heats up pretty quick. I guess that's mostly my fault due to my smoking cadence then it is the pipe. For the price it performs okay.

H.I.S., or Hugo International Series, are are made by Gardesana. They’re an affordable Italian made briars... I have one of their bent Billiard pipes and it smokes good.

With the capitalization and abbreviation, it looks like a song (or smoking implement) from Black Sabbath.
