My mom bought it and i smoked it around her just to show my appreciation. I did about 20bowls and every smoke was a struggle...then i smoked only in my mom's presence; dreading the bowl. One day out of nowhere, the pipe just sang (university flake)...it's now in my rotation and i look forward to smoking it; even without presence of mother.
Most improved pipe maker = Clark Layton
Most Improved Pipe = A Chimney I made that ended up becoming a shop pipe for various reasons, that thing has turned magical on me! And I much dislike the shape, but keep grabbing for it time and time again.
