I don't know where you're getting your "news" from kitty, but apparently you're wrong.

0.0016% of their employees, woopiedoodoo. The news cameras are on, so they are having some fun with us still. If 0.0016% of any other employers staff was going to kill themselves they'd probably not notice.

I like the one with the little red and white candy cane stripes...once you get everything covered just let us know...they look nice, I wouldn't mind to try one out. So like I said, when you want to sell them let us know...especially the candy striped one...lol

How about this piece? You can have it for $12, including shipping. We ship with either China post, Hong Kong Air Mail or Singapore Mail. Regardless of, which, it will include a tracking number.

I will post a picture, with a paper saying "This is Snudens pipe" as the rules require if you agree to this deal.

The pipe is 13cm long and weighs 140g.

The above is valid for all members with more than 50 posts.

So, how would I go about perusing your wares? Is there a link I missed? Could I get it again...
As for the plight of the Chinese people, this is their government at work...the people are there to fuel the government...That is it. So if the government decides to move a factory in the chinese people work there...
Look up some Russian factories...Russia has very lax and few pollution laws, so companies making dirty things like tires, often get them made in Russia...And the Russian government says yes! You pay us. You put up factory. People will work and make us more money. We poison everything. Who cares?...lol. Business is done differently in other places, and it is accepted by most people, but I see the most pacifists being ultimately pro war...Think about it...usually the same people so worried about the plight of humans on Earth as a whole are the same people that don't want war to break out...I mean it makes sense because if you don't like human suffering you don't like war...but disagreeing with another countries laws and ways of doing business, when those businesses are run and condoned by the governments in question....it is that kind of disagreement that starts wars...
So while I wish that everyone's worst problems were like the average worst problems in the US...but things are much worse for a lot of people...but I am going to learn Chinese, just in case...lol

I somehow doubt RK 'dont give a fuck' about how other people are treated.

In regards to China as a whole, there are several things you need to understand about the Chinese and the Chinese culture. Its a totally different kettle of water out here. As a North European I will NEVER fully understand wtf is going on here...NEVER.

Re. my little business here, I do everything in my power to treat my workers right, I have even appointed a spokes person, which can speak on behalf of all the staff, said spokes person is hired on a 5 year agreement.

I have put up a 'complaint box' where they can submit complaints and requests about everything in regards to working conditions and living conditions. The only request so far is a guy who wanted a new tie :)

Most of the glass workers wear suit and tie at work, 'we are lamp workers', as they say....

I respect that you dont want to buy Chinese made glass, but please dont call it crap before you have actually seen it. Also,please dont complain about our work shop before you have actually been here and seen it first hand.

Hey Snuden, I've got a question that many people have given different answers to. What does your shop on that side of the Earth use for boro color?

I didn't say that I won't buy Chinese glass, but I do typically support American made products when I can. That includes glass.

It just kinda rubs me the wrong way when I see big companies (not speaking about your company) who farm out work to places like China for what sometimes amounts to slave labor just so that company can squeeze a few extra pennies in profit out of their gadgets. I am not fond of greedy corporations.

No offense intended towards you snuden. And researchkitty, I'm not trying to jump down your throat. I apologize if I came across that way.

st0w; appreciated, but you were fine! :)

I generally frown on the "buy american" because I'm Canadian. Its like telling everyone at home to go eat shit. I buy any product based on the quality and the price of the product not by where it was made! :)

Actually, I'm a Canuck too! I moved to the US years ago because I was a hockey player and had to .... and ended up meeting my wife in the states, so here I am. When I say "buy American" I really mean North America. I kinda lump the two together.

I haven't applied for my American citizenship, and don't plan on doing so. I'm a proud Canadian! :-)

I agree with you on quality, but if all else is equal I support local companies whenever I can.

Now for the Bhong....

So when the delivery person came to my house (on a saturday about 3 days after sunden told me they were shipped) I was really shocked at the size of the package. It was shipped with some of the best packing I have ever seen and so that nothing would move but I was still confused at why the box was so big till I pulled this out. For scale I have placed a Humboldt Brown Ale bottle next to the beast.

The thing is awsome and huge..... Again I smoked both indys and sattys though this big girl and she is an adventure that is to be sure. As the glass goes, again this was told to me to be 7mm thick and honestly it seems to be more like 8mm or 9mm thick. Of the two peices, this one is by far a better crafted piece and that is saying something considering that the pipe was well crafted itself. The colored glass in the bhong does not have any feeling of chinese glass to it in my opinion, more like old time green glass that you see when you go to historical places. So for at least their green glass blend they are really doing something right. I am not the biggest fan of the bowl that came with this peice, but I believe that is more me then fault of design as I usually get more traditional bowls. Pulls off of the bhong are nice and smooth and I dont get the smoldering issue with this peice. I have only used my old bhong about 2 times since this came to me on saturday and she is by far becoming one of my favs in my collection. here are some more shots of her. sorry i didnt clean her up, i was working in my attic all day getting cooling to my grow room and I am too lazy to clean it tonight, would rather hit it.

So my bottom lines, I am in no way a fan of buying chinese products. I try to avoid them in most things as usually the quality is not in the product, so I was a bit hesitant to get these pipes. I am very glad that I did however. If sunden had come on here and lied and said these pipes were canadian made or us made and could have disguised the shipping I doubt anyone would ever have known that these pipes were chinese. They are very well crafted and have few flaws in them. The pipe has more of a manufactured industrial feel due to some air bubbles in the large glass end of it, but for its price the quality is most definatly there. Almost more bang for the buck if you will excuse the expression. Shipping was fast and Sunden is very open with communication and very prompt in answering any questions. I will say they are not of the same quality of high end custom made glass, as Sunden pointed out very early in this thread. But for an entry level (the pipe) to a midrange (the bhong) price point these are well made and do have a place in the market. I will continue using these items and if I have more to report about them I will make sure to report it here, also if anyone has any questions about them please feel free to post here or pm. I am more then willing to answer any and all questions.

Snoochie Boochies!
