Worst pipe/pipes you ever owned?

I had 2 savs that were terrible pipes..I probably should have sent them back to be replaced but at the time I was an OTR trucker and had no place to call home or really have things sent to..anyway both pipes were 1/2 bets with m/lg bowls that would just fall right off the stem!I mean I was driving down the OK turnpike and the bowl fell right off into my lap!!The other one did the same thing a few days later near Appleton WI and thats when both got tossed in the trash at my next fuel stop!

Ugh what bad luck @crapgame! My worst one was from an independent maker who didn't drill the tenon correctly...or attach it. It ended coming out, but I drilled it out better and used loctite to really glue it back in.

Chinese "rose wood" with very poorly drilled stems. usually too high leaving a 3rd of the bowl un smoked

I dont waste my money on those cheap Rosewood pipes from China. You can find them cheap on eBay for a reason!

I was given three pipes made in China. Two are identified as "Durable Wood" and the other is supposed to be a meerschaum type mineral knock off. I have never smoked them because I am afraid they were made with asbestos or something.

@drfrankenstein56 Ahhh yes, I had one of those pipes as well. Surprised I didn't throw in the pipe smoking towel after struggling with that thing.

I do have to say though, I do have a bitchen Chinese church warden.... one of my best smoking pots. large and wide, burns cool with the goopiest aro you can jam in it. 8 bucks from a head shop. Some run and most don't. its a gamble with anything Chinese really.
