The two I got looked like they were newly restored because they didn't even have any tooth marks on them. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I haven't been able to find a way to hold a pipe without using my teeth.
Also I can not hold it without my teeth either... i end up getting sore jaw after 45-50 minutes.

The other problem is the hole is usually located in a bad spot. kinda off to the side or too far up. Mine have been okay being a little crooked, but there not ideal. My daughter got them for me at a smoke shop for 5 bucks a pop.. was a bitchen gift to me since i had only been using cobs and wanted to try a "real" pipe... lol. One has finally broken in and is smoking really really nice and absorbing condensation real nice. its very statsfying. The other.... well, its getting there!
I got a vintage Briar Craft pipe that was my wifes grandfathers pipe and cleaned it up, and took it for a nice run with some OGS. It smoked pretty damn well, but needs time... the cleaning really took alot out of it. So I figure it will quickly beat the china bowls but for the cost, it was the perfect newbie step stone and taught me how to properly season, pack, and understand what they need for design. If your willing to play with it.... there not a bad piece. Great for a work or truck pipe.
