?? Hope you ordered some for the next test. Still, with its beautifully crafted case, it's still a "showroom" pipe
It broke because it was missing that rubber gasket
Damn, I was hoping that your first test would be actually trying to smoke it or at least burn something in it.
Be happy! This is called "understatement art" making a hand carved briar pipe look like plastic.
haha! I don't think so but I do somewhat think I'm partly responsible for summoning aliexpress to this site.
The test for today may or may not include a hammer or a brick.
We all know that Peterson, Dr. Grabow, Comoys, and Nording put their pipes through a rigorous quality control process. One of these tests I'm sure is to test how they would withstand a burn out.
TEST #2
How will the metal/wood whatever finish take to being blasted by a heat gun for a few minutes?
Before:
After:
Result:
I'm going to say it didn't handle the heat very well. The bowl actually seems to be made of some sort of black plastic substance, even though it felt like metal.

?? You should be there quality controller
I'm so confused. Did you burn away the luxury? They promised luxury.
So, like a heat gun is usually 500-700F, that thing would have probably melted while you smoked it. Did you even get a chance to try it out?
I'm so disappointed .

I'm glad Mike didn't actually smoke it. Who knows if he'd be around tomorrow for TEST #3.
Damn, what a world. This whole thing went from funny to sad for me real quick...
Are you suggesting I can't smoke it now?
You should consider patenting that flame-thrower based rustication technique.
Ya'know, before the Chinese steal it.
