Ya. Is it all small/mini pipes have the same problem? I think it's because of the chamber is too small.
could be. I know just how mine handles. I never thought I'd ever get a nose warmer. And then one day I was like I need a little pipe for my breaks at work. Great pipe. Mine is really small like Kiseru small. :) In fact I feel like the metal blowfish Tusge are basically briar Kiseru for all intents. In fact I fantasize about getting some of that stuff for that pipe. Mainly it's for five bros.

The reason I get one more mini pipe is because, the previous one was given to me by my colleague. He bought it some time ago. But after I cleaned it, it got back his interest of smoking pipe. But he doesn't want to keep that pipe (due to lazy of cleaning ?) So, every time i smoke pipe with him, I let him use back the one he gave to me, which is the one with white ring stem (it's not the original stem). So, i think i better get another mini pipe, which is about the same size, so that every time we smoke pipe together, he doesn't need to wait for me to finish my big bowl ?

Cuts like flake, coin, plug, and rope give a longer smoke in small pipes than loose tobacco. I have one of the small Old Dominion cobs and a Peterson Belgique Rustique that have borne this out. Those cuts are denser, with a little more residual moisture so burn longer, i think.

I used to have a tiny Orlik pipe no longer than 4 inches, and a tiny bowl.
I would load that with Full Virginia Plug and get a hour and a quarter smoke out of it.
Always surprised me.

I love mine.
The sandblast was one of the first pipes, if not the very first pipe I bought.
The smooth was bought about a year ago.
Good travelling pipes and gives a 30min smoke easily

man I just realized how deep into this whole pipe thing I am getting. I could tell the size of that bottom pipe just by looking at the grain.

I haven't had the same experience with Chinese pipe sellers. Yours looks to be fairly well made and constructed of actual wood though.
So far this supplier's pipe quality not bad. Don't simply buy those without brand, buy those with Muxiang engraved.
