I am impressed at the quality of this little pipe, because I've seen lesser pipes for sale at higher prices. This light-weight looks beautiful with its outstanding grain, and it smokes perfectly. Despite of the small size it holds a good quantity of tobacco, medium volume I guess, and I really love the long stem, that provides a smooth and cool flow of smoke.

This is a very nice pipe but, it appears to have a fissure in the shank. Please refer to your pictures.

Valt tegen wat aan de iele kant

Deze Hilson is een goede pijp, hij is groot maar dat is ook de bedoeling. Het is een goed alternatief naast de Big Ben.

Heel mooie pijp. Knap ontwerp!! Heel tevreden over de levering ook.
