My experience with Molina. Because they re aesthetically beautiful pipes I had 5 of them (they make them unfiltered too). All of them had problems. They were all smoking hot and two of them got burned (i am taking good care of my pipes). I really liked them but they ended up in the wood stove. In my opinion they are not made with aged briar. And because as you said, the distribution channel is quite obscure, it seems they are made by inexperienced briar workers. I am referring to modern time molinas.
@@electrecuted sorry to hear that! Seems it's a hit or miss thing due to not having quality control... and many years ago I was told they hire anyone to work with briar but I didn't believe it then! Better to invest a little more money in a quality product! Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@pipestattoosandconversations that's very possible! Morgan Bones for example are said to be Molinas but I don't know for sure. 😉 the old world is about to collapse anytime soon I am afraid! But as long as we can smoke not all is lost! 😅 Thx for stopping by and commenting! 🙂👍🏻
I start to thinking your way with Sutliff closure. so we are now in the crazyiness of having freedooooooom. but we are now caring here in the USA. hope you are well

@BlakesPipes I understand and wish and try to do the same...but the 'pandemic' was a huge blow that turned everything around...I noticed how quickly everything can turn into a dystopia. And that's why we should defend our.freedoms and do somethig about it...even if it is with our limited resources...
One brand i don't see very many on sale over here! If you don't count the Morgan bones! Fills only annoy me in pipes costing close to the 3 figure mark bought online....😡

Thanks Chris. I gave away two from the Natural line in my last GAW. They were nice pipes.

I had a Molina a few years ago. I got a bad one! I think I threw it away.
Yeah, I gave away some Molinas too...at some level you.don't want to bother with that stuff anymore...
