The chosen model does not conform to the chosen model. The laser engraving is not well done. For the wood, nothing to report.

You sell Falcon pipes but no filters (I can't find them on your site).
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for your message following your order on our website. Falcon filters are indeed no longer manufactured and we unfortunately no longer have them in stock. Today, we recommend a simple and effective solution by using a soft cotton pipe cleaner instead of the filter. Just cut a pipe cleaner into three segments, take a piece, and shape it to perfectly fit the base of the humidome. We have even made a video to show you this trick (available on this webpage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOmyycTw83c). Please do not hesitate to contact our team by email or directly by phone if you need additional information.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello, thank you for your message and for your new order. You are loyal to our online store and we sincerely thank you for that. Shipping costs have not changed for many years: sending via Colissimo Tracking is €5.50 (for an address in France), regardless of the number of items ordered. You are right, it is therefore preferable to order several items at the same time. Since March 2025, we offer an even more economical option: delivery to a relay point, at €4.50. This allows you to reduce shipping costs when you want to order just a small item. We hope this new solution will meet your needs for your future purchases.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us these words through the Avis-Vérifiés platform. We are sorry to learn that this Bing model designed by the Savinelli workshop in Italy does not meet your expectations perfectly. As indicated in our previous email responses, the manufacturer himself confirmed the materials used for the design of this pipe. The information present in the product description is therefore correct: the stem of this Savinelli Bing's Favorite smooth pipe is indeed made of ebonite (also called vulcanite, referring to its manufacturing process). Please feel free to contact our team directly by phone if you would like more details.

The cigarette holder is pretty but does the filter give a particular taste to the smoke?
Translated reviews
Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to write to us following your order on our online store. The cigarette holder you chose does indeed come with a filter. The role of the filter is to absorb a large part of the impurities from the tobacco when you smoke. Depending on your preferences, you can definitely smoke with or without this filter. Our team is available by email and phone if you have any questions regarding the use of your new cigarette holder.

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

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.

Response from La Pipe Rit
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback following your purchase in our store. The Saint-Claude pipe you chose is equipped with a classic metal filter. 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. By doing this, the filter will perfectly match the diameter of the drilling and will hold well in place in the stem of your pipe. Do not hesitate to contact our team by email or phone if you need additional information or details about pipe filters.
