Gentlemen: I made a Mistake--of buying a Cheap Cherry--wood (?)--Made pipe, made for PULSAR-- SHIRE : 100%% GARBAGE ! Reeking of Chemicals, Cleaner--- Won't even pass through 1/2 of the Stem ( something solid--inside the Stem--Blocking...) : I bought it--on E Bay, the Pipe--looks very good, easy communications-- with Seller, prompt delivery, Nice packaging,---and Such a GARBAGE ! for me---No more Pulsars// Shires, etc.---ONLY Reputable, Well-Respected Brands !
