Hello gents,
hope you are having a great evening!
After hearing about many positive reviews on 320KS shape, I wanted to give it a try.
I got the package and jeez... this shape is beautiful!
Since I have heard that any blend smokes well in this shape, I was really excited to smoke in this pipe, however, I have noticed some "problems".
1) Whistle Test
When I take the stem out (Balsa and Adapter are out as well) and blow out/inhale, it makes a high-pitched sound which I think is more commonly known as whistle. It passed the pipe cleaner test. Pipe cleaner goes in well without any trouble.
2) Stain
This Trevi has the bare wood inside. There are bunch of black dots in the bottom, some in the middle and top part of the chamber. Also on the very top of the chamber, there is like a line which seems to be drawn accidentally with a pencil.
3) Draft hole
I feel like the draft hole is larger than other pipes that I own? I am not sure if they are in the right place (ie. bottom where it meets the airway)
*I am a newbie so I may be freaking out over little things...
Should I be concerned with any of these?
I appreciate your time and thoughts!
