The History of the Carey Magic Inch Pipe

By admin

The Carey Magic Inch pipe is a unique and innovative smoking pipe that was invented by Wally Frank in the mid-20th century. This pipe gained popularity among pipe enthusiasts due to its special design and the benefits it offered. The most notable feature of the Carey Magic Inch pipe is its patented "Magic Inch" system. This system consists of a hollow chamber located in the stem of the pipe, just behind the bowl. The purpose of this chamber is to collect moisture and tar during the smoking process, preventing it from entering the mouth of the smoker. This innovative design not only prevents unpleasant taste and wet smoking, but it also helps to keep the pipe cleaner for longer periods.



Vintage Carey Magic Inch Israel Briar Pipe

Vintage Carey Magic Inch briar pipe, from an estate collection, never used. This very distinctive pipe measures approximately 6.25 inches long, and 1.625 inches wide at the bowl. Inscribed on one side of the briar stem is "CAREY MAGIC INCH, PAT. NO. 800657". Inscribed on the back of the pipe is "ISRAEL". The pipe is in excellent condition, with the original paper tube over the connecting piece that attaches the mouthpiece. Please refer to the 4 photographs for appearance and condition. Shipping / packaging will be $6.00.

According to the E.A. Carey (Europe) website "The secret of the Carey 'Magic Inch' is simple, unique, revolutionary - this top grade briar pipe is beautifully made by my skilled craftsmen, it may look like any other premier grade pipe, but inside, the story is very different. By patented innovation - the 'Magic Inch' - eliminates any need for traps, filters or gadgets. By cooling, condensing and evaporating moisture with every puff, it prevents the tar, sludge, bite and bitterness that you find in other pipes, ever reaching your mouth."

E. A. Carey's - An example of the wrong way to do business

I have ordered from E.A. Carey's one time and will never do so again. When
I placed my order I specifically chose not to join the "TLC" club and pay
the regular price for the item's I ordered.

First the Order - I ordered two items 1) a nice tamper combo for around $17
and a bottle of "Clean and Cure". I did receive my order confirmation
within minutes and thought that everything would be fine.

Week goes by - no delivery. Call E.A and am told that item(s) are on back
order. Ask why I was not notified and did not receive an answer.

2 Weeks go by - still no delivery or email update (with this being my first
order from this company I honestly thought I was being scammed). Called
them AGAIN and received same response.

3rd week - received Clean and Cure but no tamper -and again no explination
( another usless phone call).

4th week - Received tamper.

At this point I marked this down as a bad experience but since I did receive
the items I ordered I marked it off as a "bad" experience.

THEN I receive my CC statement and see that I was charged the "TLC" fee even
though I had a copy of the original order where I specifically chose not to
join. I call them AGAIN and ask them why they charged me the fee ( and
offered to fax them a copy of the original order where I declined). They
stated that it was a "Mistake" and that my CC would be credited the fee
back.

By this time I have already contacted my bank and picked up the form that
you fill out to dispute any irregular charges on your bill. Being the nice,
gullable person I am, I did not dispute the charge because I was "Assured"
from E.A. Carey that they would refund my money.

Well, guess what. They never refunded my money and I have written E.A Carey
off as a Scam operation. I don't know about you but to me, if you charge my
account a fee that I did not authorize it is THEFT. Theire is no difference
in my mind what E.A. Carey did and if someone grabbed my wallet and took $25
out of it.

What really upset's me is that when you go to the site and click on "Company
Info" it shows you a real nice picture of the CEO William Miller with his
"Guarantee" of customer service and that they will refund your money for any
purchace "cheerfully and quickly". Heck, I didn't want a refund from a
purchace, I wanted a refund from what they STOLE from my account. I was
going to send Mr. Miller a nice email explaining the problem when I realized
that the "contact information" was the same phone number that I had been
using without success throughout the whole process.

I've been scammed and I admit it. Hopefully this info will keep other Pipe
smokers from being scammed as well.

This innovative design not only prevents unpleasant taste and wet smoking, but it also helps to keep the pipe cleaner for longer periods. The Magic Inch system works by creating a barrier between the bowl and the mouthpiece. As the smoke travels through the stem, it passes through the chamber, allowing moisture and tar to condense and settle.

Reviews for "The Science Behind the Magic Inch Technology in Carey Pipes"

1. John Doe - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Carey magic inch pipe. The concept seemed intriguing, but it just didn't deliver. The pipe consistently got clogged and I had to clean it too often. The draw was also not as smooth as I had hoped, and the smoke often tasted harsh. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Carey magic inch pipe to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable smoking experience.
2. Jane Smith - 1 star - I absolutely regret purchasing the Carey magic inch pipe. It was a complete waste of money. The pipe constantly leaked and caused a mess every time I tried to smoke. The thread on the pipe bowl was also poorly designed, making it difficult to assemble and disassemble. Not to mention, the pipe was not durable at all and broke after only a few uses. Save yourself the frustration and find a different pipe.
3. Michael Johnson - 2 stars - The Carey magic inch pipe looked amazing, but the performance was subpar. The pipe frequently overheated, making it uncomfortable to hold and smoke. I also found that it required constant relighting, which was incredibly frustrating. The overall smoking experience was disappointing, and I'll definitely be looking for a different pipe in the future.
4. Sarah Thompson - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Carey magic inch pipe, but it quickly let me down. The stem was too short for my liking, and it felt uncomfortable to hold in my mouth. Additionally, the pipe had an unpleasant smell that persisted even after multiple cleanings. The overall design and functionality were just not up to par with other pipes on the market. I won't be using the Carey magic inch pipe again.
