Cigars/stuck pipe stem

Question
I have a pipe that I've used maybe 10 times at most. The stem used to come off easily once it had cooled down and I was ready to clean it. It's been about a month since I've smoked it and the stem is literally stuck now. It does not want to come out and I've tried removing it but was hesitant because I don't want to break it. How can I remove it firstly? And then be sure that it doesn't happen again?
)
Force it out?
Take it back to the store.
They need to sand it down to fit.
Or the store will heat up the stem in hot beads or sand to soften the bit and make it fit properly.
A more expensive pipe would be suggested.
Go on ebay and buy a used one for $50 I see a lot of good pipes on there.
Enjoy
Mike
