You've put up with a bum pipe for 15 years?
Man are you one patient fella.

Life's way too short to waste good tobacco on a crappy pipe.
A pipe like that would not ever make it into my rotation.

You've given it every chance to perform. It's time to get your shotgun and take it out to the woods . . . . oh wait, it's not a bad looking pipe so maybe you could spare yourself the trauma and use it as a display piece?

Hi,
With the pipe assembled without tobacco in it cover the top of the bowl to make air tight and suck in on the stem as if you were taking a draw …do you get a suction or is there a small crack or leak that could be causing dilution of tobacco smoke when you smoke it… there can be a leak at the strummel/ stem junction or even a minuscule hole somewhere that is causing poor combustion.
