Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you are like me, and this is your first pipe, rest assured that you are not prepared for the changes coming your way! The pipe fits my hand as if it were cast solely for my mitts. It is just heavy enough, balanced nicely, and is a great index finger replacement for pointing at people if you desire such an effect whilst debating the obvious benefits of a sweater over a jacket. In addition to being pleasant to look at, it smokes well and cleans easy enough. I admire the ease at which the unit breaks down for cleaning and filter replacement. Unexpected personality changes with pipe in hand: -I have developed a pipe smoking persona and he only answers to the name of Torrencio. -I find myself muttering “Hmmm yes-yes, of course” with an Austrian accent while contemplating minor inconsequential things. -I have suddenly implemented the use of dramatic pauses during conversation. While others will certainly find this annoying, I feel it corresponds with the above point well and gives the false perception of deep-thinking. -My vernacular has shifted towards Victorian era slang that pre-pipe Torrencio was unacquainted with. Egads, preposterous, dithering, blasphemous, hornswoggler, and scobberlotcher have become common-place sentence enhancers. -Eyebrow raising now happens involuntarily at the mere hint of discontent in the air. Be forewarned! Whilst a great tobacco pipe, it may bring changes to your personality that you, or more likely, others around you, are not prepared to accept. I’m fairly certain my wife is preparing to serve me divorce papers….Egads!
