These are those cheap pipes made in China, and sell on the bay for 99 cents, plus shipping. I have 2 of them. When you get them remove the little clear plastic stinger that fits into the stem. Then they smoke very well. No pipe cleaner, no problem, wash them out with water. Works great for a travel pipe. Leave one in a hotel room, Who cares at 99 cents. TSA wants to confiscate them,OK. I was cleaning the gutters on my roof eaves and sneezed, it flew out of my mouth to the concrete sidewalk below. It bounces like an empty plastic soda bottle. No damage, no harm or scratch, no dents. The ones I have look good to me. No hang over of flavor from other tobacco. No one will accuse you of being a SNOB for your choice of pipes. Don't have to let them rest between smokes, they can't absorb moisture.
