I bought my dad the starter kit and a refill. He is an avid wood carver and lo and behold also a pipe smoker. He is retired and loves being busy in his wood shop. I bought it for him for the 2017 Father’s Day and am recording the refill kit once again for 2018. He spent hours making 2 pipes and uses them, so I though, there’s no harm in getting him another kit! He’ll be stoked. He also thought the message I sent was hilarious.

Purchased this for my Husband for Christmas and had no idea he was going to love it as much as he did.
What a fantastic job he did carving it.
Refills on their way soon

The wood was a lot harder to cut than I expected, but was well worth the time . It’s a great gift and I am excited to do another one! Great hobby

I received the Pipe carving lit as an xmas gift. What a blast!
I ordered two more refills to keep the new hobby going. I will say that the stem attached was of slightly lower quality that the one I received wit the original kit. Not really a problem, but a minor disappointment.
I have nearly finished the 2nd and will begin on the 3rd soon. These will make great gifts for someone next Xmas
