Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to write to us following your order. As indicated on our website and reminded in our email response, the Myway pipe you chose is indeed sold without a filter. Like many pipes made in Italy (Amorelli, L'Anatra, Il Ceppo, Luigi Viprati, etc.), Myway pipes are also designed to be smoked without a filter. It should be noted that each smoker has their preferences: some opt for pipes with filters, others for pipes without filters. It is precisely for this reason that we offer a wide choice of models on our website. For each pipe, we specify in the

I find that Pipe Rit does not ship orders quickly enough. On the other hand, I consulted a review from a customer who had burned a pipe, you declined your responsibility saying that the pipe had overheated. A pipe that is meant to burn will burn no matter what, it's the briar that decides. I do not heat my pipes and yet I have burned some. I have been smoking a pipe for over 30 years. I think you are being bad faith. FP

The pipe I received broke during my first attempt to remove the stem cold. This is clearly a manufacturing problem as I have been smoking pipes for 15 years and know perfectly how to maintain them properly. Unfortunately, the company refuses to provide me with a new stem and did not offer me a refund. They told me I had to pay for a new stem at a price almost as high as the original price. This is unacceptable. I strongly advise against this site.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write these few words through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. Our general sales conditions explicitly state that all our items come with a one-year warranty against any manufacturing defects, starting from the date of purchase. We therefore invite you to return your pipe so that our master pipers can analyze it and propose an appropriate solution. As indicated in our previous email exchange, we do not sell stems alone, as each stem is precisely adjusted to the shank of each pipe. Therefore, the creation of new custom stems is done only in our workshops in Saint-Claude. Upon receipt of your pipe, it will of course be possible to have a custom stem made. If you would like more information on repair rates, our team is of course at your complete disposal by email or phone.

Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding the Saint-Claude pipe you just acquired. We always specify the dimensions of the items in the 'Characteristics' section because it is indeed difficult to gauge the size of a product solely from photos. If this pipe does not suit you and you have not yet smoked it, it is entirely possible to return it to us for an exchange for another model. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact us (whether by email or phone), we can provide you with all the additional details you need and guide you in your future choices.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your online order. We are sorry to learn that the corn cob pipes (from the American brand Missouri Meerschaum) do not fully meet your expectations. Due to the very nature of corn cobs, corn cob pipes are indeed more fragile than briar pipes. However, a Missouri Meerschaum pipe can last for years if you take care to handle it carefully, maintain it regularly, and especially smoke extremely gently. Please feel free to contact our team by email or phone, we will be happy to provide you with all the details you need for the maintenance of your pipes.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write to us through the Verified Reviews platform. During your visit to our store in Saint-Claude in June 2024, you informed us that the stem of your Chacom pipe (purchased in January 2023) was broken. Our workshop has been creating custom pipe stems for over 25 years. Our master pipemakers are perfectly qualified to solve this type of problem. We explained the repair options to you, but you indeed chose to refuse this solution. Consequently, and in accordance with your request, our team took care to return your pipe to you free of charge via a Colissimo shipment.

After 3 weeks, the pipe bowl is pierced, the thickness of the bottom of this bowl is insignificant. For your information, this is the third time (3 pipes from you) you will surely tell me that I do not know how to smoke a pipe but fortunately I own 2 Spanish pipes that are 4 and 5 years old without any problems.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us these few words through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. We are sorry that you are not completely satisfied with your first order on our site www.pipe.fr. Since the creation of our company in 1996, we have made it a point to ensure the quality of our products and the satisfaction of our customers. As indicated during our previous exchange, we found no manufacturing defect on the pipe you returned to us. We therefore deduced a clumsy use during the disassembly of the pipe's stem. To address your issue, our craftsmen added a reinforcement ring to the end of the stem. Thus, your husband can now continue to enjoy his tobacco.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback regarding your last order. The metal filter you refer to in your message has an adjustable section. If necessary, you can slightly spread the two legs so that the filter fits better in the bowl of your pipe. By doing this, the filter will perfectly adapt to the diameter of the hole and will stay well in place in your pipe's tube.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write to us through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. In your email dated January 27, your initial request concerned the purchase of activated charcoal filters. In this message, you also indicated that you were surprised that the Peterson pipes you had purchased directly in Ireland were not equipped with an activated charcoal filter. In fact, some Peterson pipes are compatible with a filter and others are not. Naturally, we directed you to the activated charcoal filters we offer in our store. As clearly indicated in the description of these filters (Vauen Dr Perl Junior), they are suitable for all pipes with a 9-millimeter bore. We are sorry to learn now that they do not perfectly meet your expectations. Of course, if these filters do not meet your needs, it is entirely possible to return the box for a refund. Our entire team is at your disposal by email or phone for any clarifications regarding this return.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for taking the time to send us these few words through the Verified Reviews platform. Following our previous exchanges by phone, emails, and upon receipt of your package, we had your pipe assessed by the master pipers of Saint-Claude. All confirmed that you have overheated your pipe too much, which caused the wood to literally burn. When using a new pipe, it is imperative to perform a slow and delicate cake 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. Furthermore, we also reminded you that it is essential to regularly clean your pipes using appropriate accessories for pipe maintenance. 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. Our entire team remains at your disposal if you need further details or additional advice.

This has the advantage of being adjustable. If necessary, you can slightly spread the two legs so that the filter fits best in the bowl of your pipe.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback following your recent order placed on our online store www.pipe.fr. In accordance with the regulations in force in each country outside the European Union (and as clearly stated in our general sales conditions), customs fees and/or additional taxes may apply upon receipt of the package. On our website, French VAT is always deducted from orders shipped to Switzerland.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write these few words following your purchase through our website. The pipe of the month is a concept imagined and proposed by our team at La Pipe Rit for nearly 20 years. Indeed, every month, our specialists select a quality model, made according to the rules of the art and in limited quantity. During our phone conversation, we indeed advised you on the best method to easily disassemble the pipe from your pipes. We also reminded you that it is essential to clean your pipe with suitable cleaners after each smoking. Over time, a dirty pipe will inevitably become clogged due to tar, and it then becomes very complicated to remove the pipe. It is also necessary to regularly clean the metal filter of your pipes to keep it clean and effective. We are at your complete disposal by email or phone if you need additional advice regarding the maintenance of your new pipes.

I would be rather very satisfied if it weren't for this downside: I did receive the pipe I ordered but in an unsuitable packaging, a faux leather pouch that is half the length of the pipe and slipped into an unsealed soft cardboard box from which the pipe was sticking out. This is very disappointing and spoils the pleasure of receiving the pipe that I had been looking forward to. Too bad.

I just sent it back for a refund... I didn't realize it was so small... But that's totally my fault, nothing to do with the pipe itself..

Hello and thank you for your feedback regarding this pipe made in the workshops in Saint-Claude. You are right, it is indeed difficult to realize the size of a product solely from photos, which is why we always specify the dimensions of the items in the "Characteristics" section. When ordering from our online store www.pipe.fr, you have 100 days to return any item (new, in its original packaging) that does not suit you for a refund or exchange for another model. During your next purchase, if you have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us (whether by email or phone) as we can easily provide you with all the additional details you need and guide you in your future choices.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for taking the time to send us these few words through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. Following our previous exchanges by phone and email (as well as the attached photos), 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 indeed benefit from the warranty as it is not a manufacturing defect. 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 clarifications.
