Re: First pipe
It's possible. Smoking and moisture may have caused a bit of swelling in briar, hence a tighter fit then when it is dried out. If it was really tight when first purchased this may be the cause or a possible manf defect in the stem material. It should never need excessive force to remove a stem, but only you can be the gauge for that ;-)
