The pipe I'm puffing on in my avatar isn't a month old ... I was just putting a 2nd char light on a full bowl of 7 seas Royal blend while on the job today, and I decided to turn the stem a bit in the shank.
The thing broke off in my hand
It was a fairly tight fit in the shank, enough to wear it made a little squeeking sound when you moved it... but this isn't unusual, that happens with all my pipes. Does this happen sometimes with a quality stem, or is this Ukrainian crap? This has never happened to me before.
Anyhow, I'm just going to upgrade this pipe into a churchwarden, provided I can find a 11mm churchwarden stem, does anyone have any idea where I can find one?
