It looks like the pipe may have had a ferrule... You can buy replacement ferrules/bands at the MM website. It might reinforce the repair.

Over the long haul you should be fine.

This is a perfect example of why this forum is so great. I think a person would be hard pressed to ask a question that someone here can't answer. Good luck with that MM and happy smokes!

I keep wanting to post pics. I have had several shank splits. Wood Glue and then I take a large softy bit and work it up the shank. In the case of my shire cobbit I put two on the shank, next to each other. Doesn't look bad and it works. Softy bits come in two sizes. The larger ones make the good sleeves. They can either replace the ferrule or slip over it. On a briar shank I used wood glue and gorilla tape. Works well, too

...wood glue is one of those things you want if you are stranded on a desert island, along with WD-40 and Duct Tape...
