Always sells pipes as unsmoked that are not. Tell me this pipe has not been smoked?!

I bought two pipes from him in the past I had to return. One had a badly replaced stem, and the other was sold as “unsmoked” but was certainly smoked.

I do not believe he’s doing this in error, but rather to deceive. So buyer beware.

Now, now, to be fair, he writes that the sandblast is unsmoked, not the pipe. This was revelatory for me. I didn't know that smoked sandblasts were a thing.

I've been smoking a pipe for about three years (still a noob) and I'm always learning something new. Can someone please explain what this means in the sellers listing? - 'Perfect Air to Draw Speed Ratio and a Great Draft Ratio.' Sounds like B.S.

I wrote this guy off the second time I encountered that awful wall of gibberish in the description segment.

It's a shame, as he does often get some attractive pieces.

He is, as my friend would say, "suffering variations of his own distortions".

He's probably sleeping with Ms. Shiny Pipes... :poop:

I can live with the auctioneer style description if he just didn’t lie about the condition of the pipes.
