Mine’s a rusticated Pioneer. Pic related.
You’ll never get a cooler smoke. Tongue bite is impossible.
There is a slight taste imparted—slight. It’s not “pure” like meer. Though I think it’s pretty good at getting the pure flavors out like a meerschaum: I just get a slight taste of the gourd.
Obviously every pipe is different but mine lasts about as long as my Savinelli 8606.
It’s no more maintenance intensive than a meer. You’re not supposed to try to remove any buildup from the gourd part (you can damage it if you try). Just wipe the meerschaum bowl after every smoke and keep the stem clean. Also every now and then you need to wax the cork, otherwise the bowl will lose its seal with the pipe.
Ergonomics-wise it’s pretty comfy to hold. Lightweight for being so huge and very curvy. I like to hold it with two fingers at the bottom “hump” of the “U”.
Sort of impractical for being /out/doors though. It’s too precious to risk dropping.
