Molina Shorty Black 125 Tobacco Pipe - Dublin

The paint or coating on the pipe started coming off after first few uses. Would not buy again.

I like this pipe quite a bit. Price is cheap so I don't worry about it too much. It uses a 9mm filter, which most of my other pipes use as well. I like the filters because I can be a wet smoker. I don't have a problem clinching the pipe but I smoke pipes of various sizes with 9mm filters and have a lot of practice doing it. I'm a fan of straight pipes because of the saliva issue I mentioned above. The Dublin shape is one of my favorites. The black finish hides blemishes and I plan on being a little rough on it. Rattray's Goblin is a similar pipe I own but it's a little larger, nicer, and it's more expensive. I gave it 4 stars because it does exactly what I want it to do but it's not a pipe that's going to blow you away. The stem doesn't fit perfectly either but I bought it to throw in my pocket and for traveling when I didn't want to fuss with a more expensive pipe anymore. This get's it done and smokes well.

The extreme taper of the mouthpiece means I can only hold it by the very tip with my front teeth. I have ordered a different flatter mouthpiece from Amazon and I hope it will fit. The bowl also gets surprisingly hot for how thick it is. Otherwise it's ok, I guess.
