MacQueen Wizard Pipes

Totally happy. Not alot of character cuz of ash wood of course but quality build, good smoke,good price.

This pipe is such a comfortable length, you can really really relax and enjoy a bowl of any tobacco. Scotty's Bass Pond is an exceptional smoke in this pipe. From the first smoke, it was not harsh and so smooth that it felt like a pipe I have been smoking for some time now. The bowl does not heat up too much that you do not need to change hands during a smoke. This pipe is not one of my very favorites to smoke and I would suggest buying this pipe to anyone. The Ash wood begins to gather its own color as you smoke it. This is absolutely worth the money to buy.

This is my second wizard series pipe from MacQueen. I definitely prefer this briar bowl to my earlier cherry bowl model (which charred very quickly). Bottom-line it's hard to find unique briar bowl churchwardens that aren't a standard billiard/apple shape with vulcanite or acrylic stem. MacQueen just about has the market on these wood stem models. They draw well, and use a metal stinger in the stem, which seals perfectly, but leaves a small gap in bowl to stem fit. The painted on finish is the main negative, but I simply stripped it and re-dyed it to my taste, coating with carnauba wax. The stem is a lighter colored, much softer wood, different than that of the bowl (hence the paint finish). Get extra length pipe cleaners: the stem is longer than most churchwarden cleaners.

My MacQueen Wizard and Missouri Meerscham Cobbit pipes are my new favorites. Wish I could have gotten a stand for it. I hope to see that the product lines continue and become more affordable for buyer as well as the companies.

The Wizard smokes ok but I didn't like the taste of the wood stem and it was uncomfortable to hold. Other wise not bad for the price.

The pipe has a nice draw and is a comfortable shape and length. However, I never read in the description that the pipe would be painted a bronze color. From the picture provided on the website it looked like the pipe would have been the preferred briar wood finish.

I have only used the White Wizard 2 or 3 times so far, so this review isn't based on too much experience. The stem is a bit long for me, but not enough to prevent me from using it. The posted length is 13" but the stem I received is 15", making the total length from tip to edge of bowl 16". The stem seats in the bowl snugly, not tightly, so I'm always expecting them to separate. So far it hasn't though, but I'm not sure if air is getting in around the connection. I haven't seen any smoke come from there, but I never get a good draw. It's always TOO easy a draw no matter how tight I pack it. The bottom edge of the bowl comes to a sharpened point. If the stem fit tighter in the bowl, you could use it as a weapon in a pinch-it is that seriously sharp. It's not a problem for me, but you could always sand it down if you want, since the pipe is not stained. Overall, if I had the chance to purchase it again, I would choose another model.

Excellent craftsmanship, large bowl. Good for long cool smokes. Unexpectedly got the white ash, which I thought was sold out. The pipe fairies must love me!

Got it as a gift and he loves it. Thanks for the quick shipping and excellent customer service.
