I have looked at them every once and awhile. Looks interesting. The reviews I have seen are mostly positive and have good things about Chris Morgan's other pipes. Currnetly working on cleaning up an estate Morgan Bones pipe I picked up in a lot on eBay. Have seen a few knock offs of the design online as well.

I think Chris knocked off the design from I think it was an Italian guy who years ago tried the briar cigar idea based that's on the zeppelin pipe. I'll bet they're made in the same factory as the guy who was selling them years ago. I've had a zeppelin pipe for years I was hoping for a cigar replacement. It never worked very well after the first few minutes.
I bought the cob cigar to try as $20 is a lot nicer than $120. I personally find it hilarious and would only buy it to have it in the collection. I know it is based on the same principle as the Zeppelin pipe with the added reverse calabash. I see it more as a novelty versus something to use regularly.
The practicality of it seems to be a little off, but in theory... seems like a fad to me. But hell, what do I know, I've only been been smoking pipe for 20 years.
