[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 67279, member: 509"] For the first time in a long while, I bought a factory pipe the other day. It's the high-end model of a Chacom 214, a hungarian. I like the shape well enough to want to copy it, so I thought I'd grab the pipe. The hand cut stem is done pretty shabbily, and the finish on the briar is really pretty bad. Worst of all, the tenon occludes the airway a bit. All fixable by me, but your average smoker would have a loser on his hands. The really sad thing is that out of 4 214s in the shop, I got the best one by far. One was so poorly drilled that I bet you couldn't even get air through it - the airway terminated against the tenon. Madness. Anyway, this looks like a brand to avoid. Quality control is absent. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
