Did I damage my pipe?

[Lou__ee]

So like the title says, I was cleaning my pipe with a pipe cleaner the other day and I noticed that it look like part of the wall has dropped and kinda like stunk in? Not sure how explain it exactly. But a small piece at the very back bottom is like cracked off and now is just sitting there. It was a surprise to me since I just bought this like a week ago and I don’t recall hitting the wall that hard? Anywho I’ll place some pictures below to see what you guys think. Thanks for your time!

Hard to see well but looks to me like maybe some of the bowl coating flaked off. I don't see anything particularly worrying.

As stated above, it’s a bit hard to see, but to me, it looks like there’s a piece of burnt tobacco sitting in the groove of the draught hole.

I don't see anything to be concerned about. Keep smoking the pipe.

Don’t think your going to cause any damage in a weeks time. Would hope QC would have caught a large divot as I believe you’re describing. Smoke it.

You are fine, carry on!

Yeah just scrape at it with the tip of a pipe cleaner from the top and it should clean that draught hole right out
