Admit it, men are just to buy for. Before Christmas, I made sure that my wife understood that I only collect Dublins and bulldogs, so she got me a bent apple, :::sigh::: Then my kids got me an expensive beer can cozy, for the guy who doesn't drink beer nor out of cans. Picky, set in our ways, and if I want it, I go get it. We're just hand to buy for.
But what self-respecting pipe man could deny the awesomeness of this...

This is the present for men that is universal. There's nothing left to say... except it can be found here. Let the bidding frenzy begin!!! Ha ha!!

I seem to remember this coming up before...either the seller is making another go of it, or there was some buyers remorse. Cant imagine why.

I'd definitely grab it if it was cheaper because it cheekily reminds me of the British 2-fingered salute,

roughly an equivalent to our middle finger...
In Britain, the V-sign when done with the palm backwards, is a rude insult, meaning "Get Stuffed!".
Also known as " flicking the V "

Its origin is often attributed to the English longbowman archers who were supposedly taunting and mocking the French during the Hundred Years War, but there is much debate about the topic...

The insulting gesture is adeptly demonstrated by Vyvyan of The Young Ones in this gif:

An iconic Steve Mcqueen scene from Le Mans also features the gesture.

If it doesn't sell at first, try, try again.

Sorry Gents, I must have missed its first go around. But, I cannot imagine why someone would let something like this go for so cheap, ha ha. And, as you check out the other pictures you can tell it was most likely made in someone's art class, probably for their pipe smoking dad. Which the thought of someone making me something like this for my pipes is very touching... in appropriate places. But, the color is even unsettling, and the way the fingers have to bend to grasp the pipe. It's, it's, it's... just beautiful. But, I wouldn't have anywhere to put it. There's no way I am getting rid of my collection of decorated Marilyn Monroe manikin heads. No way!!

I don't blame you Cosmic,

I couldn't get rid of that collection either!

:P
Who killed Marilyn?
Could it have been the Kennedys?
