So from the picture, I thought this would have more of a pearlescent finish, but once you unbox it, it’s pretty lackluster. It’s just a wood pipe that has a sticker looking layer with this design painted on. But whatever, I gave it a try anyways and it is so hard to get a pull off of this thing when it’s barely packed. There’s a little filter thing inside the shaft I removed to try and help get it to draw, but even then it was a pain. I’d say this was just a good show piece, but it’s not even get the design inlayed. It’s just a lil sticker/skin.

I use this pipe in ceremonial settings, not as a pass-around pipe, but a personal use pipe. I enjoy the deep bowl, the old-fashioned screens and accouterments, and the slow burn.
