How Fragile are Pipes?

I've lost count of how many clay pipes I've broken...

Clay great pipes that can break if you look at them too hard. I swear I've had clays break from being glared at. I never really minded because they're affordable until I had one break on the first freaking smoke just from being held.

Top picture: Why are you saving it? And why would you hit it with a hammer?

first question that's a personal thing that I can't answer.
Second question because the pipe was being very bad and needed to be taught a lesson.
