@Montecristo For the pipe smoker that's undecided between 2 of their favorite blends. Questions: Are they lit at the same time, or only after one bowl is completed? And which bowl to light first? Does it matter? So many questions, so little answers...😬🤔
Seriously though, it really is a work of art. It looks as if someone tried to clean the outside bowl and only succeeded in taking off the patina. If that's the case, I feel sorry for the guy that did it...
@Montecristo That probably isn't a bad price on the Yanik because his pipes are highly valued collectibles. Some of the other pipes seem to be a little overpriced in my opinion.
I have bought two pipes off of the meerschaum market website though.
That pipe is just creepy…because octopus/octopi are creepy…but I admire the skill and artistry that went into it. It’s actually a beautifully done realistic, not cartoonish, carving.

I cannot imagine paying that much for a pipe, but I can dream, can't I?
If I bought one of those pipes for that amount of money, the wife would change all the locks on the doors!😬
That site has some crazy wild meers.
