I see it more as a novelty item... many people apparently really like it... but Im with TopD on this, I think its kind of silly.

Looks silly to me also. I want my pipe to look like a pipe. If I want to smoke a cigar, I will. Novelty item at best.
This is a variation of the old zeppelin pipes. The design has been around for probably +80 years.
Lehmann photographed smoking what appears to be a Vauen "Zeppelin" pipe, circa 1929.

looks like a fancy version of "the bat" that my friends in college smoked pot out of. Its seems easy to pocket and carry, but i think its is more a novelty. I like the feel of a pipe in my hand and thats just not it
I saw a briar cigar in action couple weeks ago. The feller professed to like it very much, but he was always fiddling with it and re-lighting it. I enjoyed a bowl of Captain Cool in the time he farted around with that ridiculous thing - seems he never got more than a few sips per light.
Having said that, this guy is a pretty fussy smoker anyway, always tamping and picking. Makes me tired to watch him. So, my observations might be a tad biased.
