Some good news, and some bad news about my latest pipe purchase:

https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/e...duct_id=273743

The bad: I noticed that the bit angles off about 3 degrees to the side from the shank. Wouldn’t hinder smokeability, but it’s a cosmetic defect that annoys me.

The good: I noticed the defect before I smoked it. I can return the pipe, and will do so.
