I actually was given one as a gift it was the wizard series that Macqueen makes and I thought it was a good pipe. A little different construction. Doesn't have a shank and the draft hole is on the bottom of the bowl instead of the side. I have herd about a good bit of gurgling but my pipe hasn't shown any real big signs of that. I was pleasantly pleased about what I had especially for only 60 bucks. I was happy to get it because I was looking for a wood stem churchwarden pipe and only Vauen I can find makes one and they charge 300+ for their pipes and wasn't even going to consider that much until I had given the wooden stem a try.
Anyone know of any wooden pipe stem companies?
