I am approaching a half a century. Needless to say I have much experience in smoking out of many different types of things. I Can honestly say I have never owned a piece in which every time I use.I think to myself this is so pleasant. This bowl is the perfect shape, length, weight & size. It is perfect 👌🏻 I purchased mine at a headshop and after a year, I broke it. I searched, in vain, for a suitable replacement, but nothing ever compared. Finding myself longing to smoke out of it again, I searched online and found it here. I will be buying at least 2 more as backups. I don't ever want to be without this piece again!
