I think these military-mount pipes (sometimes called army-mount or spigot) are really cool. This example is Italian made with sterling hardware. You’ve been told that taking apart pipes while still warm from smoking risks breaking the pipe. These are made to be disassembled at any time, making military-mounts great travel pipes and pocket pipes.
I bought this as an estate pipe and did the cleaning myself. It is a sweet smoker that burns great to the bottom of the bowl. The drilling is perfect. It’s got some pretty grain, too.
