Jean Claude Rustic Wave 9mm 濾芯石楠木煙斗 - 形狀 04

The part-rusticated bowl gives it a nice tactile contrast while smoking, and the draft hole was perfectly aligned out of the box. Been using it daily for two weeks with no issues, breaks in smoothly.

The briar feels substantial in the hand without being too heavy, and that brown stain with the partial rustication is a nice change from a plain smooth finish. Smoked a couple bowls through it already and it draws surprisingly well for an entry-level pipe.

The partial rustication on this bowl gives it a rugged look while keeping the smooth section easy to hold. It draws smoothly and the 9mm filter keeps the smoke cool without feeling restrictive.
