Close to perfect
This is my 2nd smaller Prince shaped pipe. The title of the review says it all really...this pipe is close to perfect. Ive come to love this size and shape of pipe and it really might be my perfect pipe right now and the only thing "negative" I could say about it is that I wish it had an acrylic stem. I don't have much experience with vulcanite and I do hope keeping it cleaned and lightly oiled keeps the stem good for years but only time will tell. The pipe itself though smokes great, feels fantastic in hand, I absolutely love the size and shape of the smaller Prince and I expect I'll seek out a 3rd small Prince sooner rater than later. Also....it is a looker!

Way better than I expected
This was my first Prince shape pipe and as soon as I had it in hand I found myself ordering another similar dimension pipe because I absolutely love the size, shape, weight, and experience of smoking a pipe with this bowl size. I now have 3 "smaller" pipes and honestly they aren't as small as you might think when it comes to smoke time. I think the ember is smaller so the burn rate offers somewhat of a comparable experience to even much bigger bowls where a lot more surface is burning... I'm just guessing but the point is, this isn't a 15 min smoke or some tiny pipe even though just looking at dimensions it could seem like that. This pipe exudes class... it punches well above its weight when you look at the price... you will absolutely wonder how a pipe this nice costs less than many others. There is only 1 negative thing I can say about it.. the bowl coating it came with did have a noticeable bad taste but I used a pipe cleaner with vodka 4 or 5 times to clean it out and things improved immediately. I love this pipe!
