GERMANUS Original Corncob Pipe - Apple Bent - Tobacco Pipe incl. Pipe Bag, Sailor

Love my corn cob

I wanted to purchase a Missouri Corncob Pipe for a gift, since their products are being praised as very beginner friendly and generally being great pipes of high quality. The Apple shape naturally grabbed my eye so I went with this one. BUT I am somewhat disappointed with the actual pipe: its inside is very rough.While the pipe I received is definitely Missouri Meerschaum, it looked like that it was originally from their Missouri Meerschaum Grab Bag of 10 Smokable Second Pipes. Since the company wants to sell only their very best, and sometimes they get stuck with pipes of less quality, they make the bag, and sell 10 of their not-so-great-looking, but still usable for the price of 1-2 regular pipes.The Apple pipe I got in the package looked good at first, but when I checked the tobacco compartment I can actually see the splinters that come off from the inner part! (see the attached photos - they are a lot worse irl) This is not the usual quality of Missouri Meerschaum, I have even seen pipes that come from a bag of seconds that looked better than that.Of course none of this was ever mentioned in the description though, I should have been buying a brand new high quality pipe, and the price seemed right, if a little over what the original company sells them in the States. Probably a scam, and since I bought it for a gift that means I am stuck with an OK pipe, that I'd probably won't be giving as a present to anyone. Definitely be cautious when buying from this seller.

Bisher zweimal genutzt, besserer Zug als bei der vorherigen Standardpfeife. Filter passen auch, wenn auch etwas mühsam.

Na 2x roken en de scheuren springen erin,trekt nu valse lucht valt niet te roken

Gute pfeife auch für Anfänger geeignetNachteilWer mit Filter raucht sollte sich 6mm gleich mitbestellen oder mann hat einen gut sortierten Tabakwaren laden

There is nothing to add. It is very good corn cob. If 6 mm filter will not fit innitially, just work a little with sand paper and it will fit into the stem. Worth buying.

Erwartet habe ich eine leichte und einfache Pfeife. Gedacht für zwischendurch, draußen und unterwegs. Erwartet habe ich außerdem eine ordentliche Verarbeitung. Bekommen habe ich genau das! Tip: Den Holm etwas „vergrößern“. Mit Schmirgelpapier etwas nacharbeiten. Dann passen 6mm Filter wesentlich besser.
