Picked this up on ebay for $90, quite a steal. It retails for 249.99$, and I've seen it at online shops for as low as $220. I'm about to attempt to post pics, be gentle it's my first time, I only figured out how to change my avatar yesterday.

I was having some lighting difficulties, so the grain doesn't have quite as much pop as it does in person. Very nice pipe and I'm extremely happy with it. Smoking it's first bowl of Haddo's Delight. Draw is wide open, and no stain flavor or other funkiness coming through.

It's a relief reproduction of DaVinci's self-portrait. Each one of the pipes in this line is named after one of his drawings or designs, and features said drawing on the shank and on the end of the included tamper.

Congrats! I'd say you got a great deal on a great pipe.
Also, it appears you have an awesome view of a beach from your balcony..."It's good for your soul"

It is an awesome view, unfortunately it's my in-laws balcony. My wife and I are staying in their condo until our house in Tennessee sells. We are getting a bit spoiled, after our house sells and we start looking for a new place of our own we'll have to look for something a bit more...realistic. I couldn't hardly afford the property tax on this place.
