In order to rate this pipe I have used five categories, 1. shape, 2. material, 3. bowl, 4. lid, 5. cleaning
1. Shape: The magnetic spoon pipe is an smooth, elegantly shaped delivery system with
a 'low profile'. The low profile is clever design which prevents the pipe from tipping
and spilling the load, a common problem with pipes.
2. Material: The pipe is made from an indestructible metal, for those of us who have purchased glass pipes,
this makes a big difference. The metal has a coating which prevents the pipe, especially the bowl, from excessively
heating as with most pipes after sustained usage. It is a relief to the fingertips and the smoke intake is not as
intense on the throat.
3. Bowl: The bowl of the pipe has a wide mouth which affords a large load or just a pinch, your preference.
As mentioned above the bowl does not heat when used repeatedly.
4.Lid: The operation of the bowl lid is an unique refinement. The pivot of the lid is magnetic. It slips smoothly
back and forth over the bowl. When so desired the load can easily be extinguished and contained with the lid.
5. Cleaning: This, in my view, is the most important aspect of the design of this pipe. Lifting the bowl lid from
the magnetic catch, the pipe divides into sections. This opens the interior of pipe for quick, easy cleaning of the
accumulated tar with a tissue. Anybody who has attempted cleaning the tar from the average pipe will probably
appreciate this aspect of the pipe as much as I do.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this as a smartly designed, durable and efficient smoking pipe.
