So, the pipe smokes wonderfully. Grain is amazing, finish is flawless, and the mortise/tenon fit is superb. But... and why is there always a “but” with these things... the slot is so incredibly thin that a normal pipe cleaner will not pass through it. I know it’s a minor complaint, I have no problem flushing the stem with hot water, but come on! This is the only pipe of 25 or so that I’ve owned that won’t pass a cleaner through the slot. ?
