I am not satisfied, the pipe was slightly damaged upon arrival, customer service does not offer to return and exchange it, but the shipping costs are at my expense.

Hello and thank you for this comment regarding the repair of your pipe whose broken flake needed to be replaced. The pipe artisans of Saint-Claude do their best to handle each repair in a reduced time frame. However, this delay can vary depending on the time of year and the current workload in the workshop. For these two reasons, we systematically indicate (during phone exchanges and via our website) a minimum waiting period of two months. Also, we are happy to have been able to respond to your repair request even faster than expected. Following your message, we are delighted to know that you will be able to fully enjoy your Big Ben pipe again.

Very very disappointed, the straight Saint-Claude pipe I received is not the right one. The length from end to end is only 10.5 cm and the bowl is 1.09 cm. While I wanted a length of 12 cm and a bowl of 2.02 cm. I hope you will take this into account. Hoping for a response from you for a possible arrangement. The delivery time is really too long.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback following your online order. The St-Claude pipe you chose is a limited edition, handcrafted. Therefore, only a few pieces have been produced in the workshop. As indicated on our online store, it is quite normal to see differences in dimensions from one pipe to another.

Mixed review: this is the Eole Flammée 2 pipe priced at 145 euros. While the line is elegant and conforms to the description and what I was looking for, it nevertheless has a manufacturing defect that should have disqualified it: the drilling of the pipe has damaged about 1 mm of the base of the bowl facing it. I am surprised that this escaped the verifications. This is the first time I see this type of clumsiness which nevertheless corroborates its 'unique exemplary' touted in the description.

Absolutely negative, no after-sales service for warranty or repair, €150 thrown away for nothing and a pipe unusable 4 days after receipt (It burned the filter and all the inside in bakelite. I thought Saint Claude was a specialty of pipes but be careful before ordering by mail from this company. No need to ask me anything else in the future, work on after-sales service.
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for taking the time to send us this message through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. Following our previous exchanges by phone and upon receipt of your package, we confirmed that your pipe overheated too much, which caused the wood to literally burn. When using a new pipe, it is imperative to perform a slow and delicate charring to create a protective carbon layer inside the bowl. Generally, it should always be possible to hold the pipe in hand without it being uncomfortable. If you feel that the pipe is hot, you should let it extinguish and cool down before relighting it. According to our general sales conditions, your pipe cannot benefit from the warranty as it is not a manufacturing defect but rather clumsy use. Briar pipes with a bowl lined with meerschaum can be a good solution as meerschaum better protects the wood from heat. Therefore, the briar is unlikely to get damaged even if you draw too hard. We remain at your disposal if you need further clarification.

The strengths: Very careful shipping, beautiful pipe signed by its creator. (Pierre Morel), some advice for smoking this pipe well. The negatives: The only issue is a small hole on the side of the pipe (really a shame, given the high price, and the fact that it is made by a renowned artisan, we expect a flawless pipe). This does not hinder its use or its beauty.

A very big disappointment: impossible to remove the flake from the stem, whether the pipe is cold or hot. Using pliers is necessary and requires significant effort. Obviously, this pipe has passed through quality control. The response obtained from customer service is unequivocal: 'figure it out, lubricate, sand'. It's really incredible and disappointing. I have been smoking a pipe for over 40 years and it was a mistake to make this purchase (which just landed in the trash) on this site that deserves negative publicity.

Hello. You contacted us by email because you are having difficulty disassembling the stem of your pipe. We responded the same day we received your message to indicate how to facilitate disassembly. Not being on site, we tried to inform you without you having to return the pipe. This was to avoid shipping costs and a waste of time. Of course, if you do not wish to follow our instructions and do the necessary work yourself, you can return the pipe to us.

Pipe purchased in January and the stem broke 3 months later. I returned the pipe thinking to take advantage of the warranty but I was told that the filter, which was changed every time, was very dirty and therefore the pipe was poorly maintained. Very unhappy, I do not recommend this site, I will not buy anything there again.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us this comment through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. Our team has received your pipe and was able to have it examined by several renowned craftsmen located in Saint-Claude. As stated in our general sales conditions, all our items are guaranteed for 1 year from the date of purchase against any manufacturing defect. Also, after analysis, your pipe showed no defects or design flaws. Indeed, the tar accumulated inside the stem and the completely clogged filter unfortunately rendered your pipe unusable. This lack of cleaning inevitably caused the disconnection of the tenon from the stem. Do not hesitate to contact our team again if you need advice on maintaining your pipes or if you want additional information.
