Welcome to the forums and congrats on a cool little creepy pipe! I've been an Olie Sylvester fan for a while, although I only have one of his pipes. Mine is one of his little "Bloody Knuckles" meerschaum pipes. I think that most pipe smokers find them a little too novel, or creepy, or something. I think they're fun and quirky. I might have to get one of his briar pipes someday.
Your pipe is a rather nice example of the Zombie pipes, some of which can be quite gruesome. You try smoking it yet?
