i like the look of it its best offer so i could get less.im thinkijng of getting it.im on the fence though
3 novelty $20 pipes is the value of a budget Sav or Pete, I say if it's love at first sight, pull the trigger on it! If not, save for the inevitable next TAD attack.
It is a novelty pipe.
But, not that uncommon.
I have seen some new Holland Pocket Pipes somewhere recently.

I say get it if you can't stop thinking about it, especially for around $20. Marmal4d makes a good point though three of these equals one good pipe, which is usually going to be a better deal over all. I sometimes buy pipes just because they are cool and I know I am not going to use very often.
true 3 of those equal one good pipe, but i already have a good pipe an dont make a lot of money, so i cant be buying $60 pipe often
Or, conversely, that same $20 could be spent with one of our sponsors on a Grabow, or a couple of cobs.
That's a good question, my uneducated guess would be the distance from bowl to button, the orientation of the stummel to the tobacco chamber, and on typical vest pipes, the thinness of the walls. Not to mention the fact that moisture has no place to go, and a pipe cleaner won't help much.
I've always liked the idea of them, but after trying a few different brands I gave up on them altogether.
I think jpberg's point about pipe cleaner problems is spot-on.
Looks like a big PITA from a practical point of view. Cute conversation piece, but not much more.

Trinket pipes like that can be had for significantly less if you're patient; if you *really* want it, get it, but in the long run you're better off spending money on tobacco than pipes. Pipes will come at low prices throughout your lifetime while tobacco prices will increase daily. Build your cellar, young man!
