very good buy for the money & attractive to boot. Recommend it for the budget conscious & practical smoker.Awesome product... I am new at smoking pipes so my review is genuine. The two I purchases within the last 6months were stury but the hole for "sucking in the tobacco was too small... the was a spot for a paper disposal filter but no screening... I paid about $15.00 alone.. and $18.00 the second time. I bought this product just to test it out.. when it arrive.. (quicker that I thought), it was in a box sealed with a whote vacuumed plastic wrapping... the box was black with the logo and name in gold print. The box after taking off the plastic wrapping and a paper/cardboard wrap around it. Very elegant and nice looking... Opening the box you find the pipe fitting into a plastic mold made for it with two, for the size, heavy duty screens in the shape of the tip of your index finger or you can say.. your finger can where it like a hat. It also comes complete with disposal paper filers (high quality), a small pkg of screens and pipe cleaning and tool. When smoking... I really enjoy it so much... I dont have to struggle to suck air like the others... its smooth, sturdy, enjoyable.... will buy again.Good, sturdy beginners pipe. Even held up reasonably well being crushed in a car's rear door latch. (Will be ordering a replacement, I like this pipe that much.)Came in a very nice box, well organized and displayed. Excellent for gifting.Easy to clean and tolerant of a novice with a torch lighter. Only complaint is that the varnish chips off if one is not careful when tapping out the ashes. Make sure you are not banging the neck against the wall of the ashtray too or you will get ugly little chip on the neck. However, rubbing in dark furniture oil helps to hide any damage you may have done.Nice pipe, look forward to replacing, my self inflicted damage, pipe.Nice kit. Perfect for new pipe smokers. Has everything you need to get started in a pretty nice case. My only little gripe: the cutout for the pipe tool is cut for a different type of tool so the tool I received with the kit doesn't fit right.I am a new piper...like many who have posted reviews. So my opinions are based on limited experience and lack of exposure to other pipes. With that said this is exactly as advertised. I find this smokes a little hot...but that my be my issue and not the pipe.Moisture is a recurring issue as well resulting in a bubbly smoke. From my research this is not uncommon with the curved shape of this stem.This may not be a good fit for an afficianado but seems to be great for beginners. It's certainly a good price. Hope this helps.With the holiday season coming up, this is a pretty unique gift option. I’m using it almost as a gag gift. Our friend is a 30-something-yr old guy who smokes every now and then. It’d make a nice display on his wall even if he doesn’t use it to smoke. It’s not too expensive so there’s no worries of upkeep. Yet it’s sleek enough to put up to be showcased. I’d recommend it for the men in your life.This is my first pipe aside from my corn cob. First impressions were that it felt very solid and well made. Screens and filters included are great. Some bash the charcoal filters and refuse to use, but I think that it helps to refine the flavor. Not to mention that it helps filter some of the gunk out of the smoke which equates to quicker cleanings. The style (shape) of the pipe is perfect. Sits in the hand like it was meant to be. Nice weight to it. I would purchase again, and would recommend to a newbie like me, or someone who has been using a pipe for some time. The quality is impressive for under $30.Such a beautiful pipe! First off you get this black box in the mail with silver lettering of "Feel Glad" on the top. And you open up to this beautiful pipe and the pipe scraper in there little departments. Then you pull the plastic piece out and under it is a pipe bag and all the other accessories. So for presentation 10/10. It works too, the air flow is great, the mouth piece is comfortable, the filter fitting is smooth but firm. My only real complaint is that it is kind hard to clean. The pipe cleaners tend to kink in weird ways on entry to the chambers. But other than that absolutely fantastic.
