Would you pay $400 for THAT? Not me; even if it was given to me, I wouldn't smoke it. "Special heat-resistant polymer".... :roll:
Look, on top of that, at how badly the stem is fitted to the shank. This looks so totally plastic...

No.
But I also would not buy—at those prices and above—some of the briar free-hands that some think are beautiful.
Where found? Description?

I like the non-skeletonized blue diamond version... Honestly though, I'm so tired of people using a 3D printer and then charging absurd prices for their products.

At the risk of re-opening the whole Werner Mummert silly pipe debacle, that is not in my wheelhouse at any price.

I actually like the concept and overall look of the pipe portion. I agree the look is destroyed by that miserable stem fit. A clean and proportionate stem fit always looks good but becomes paramount when the pipe has such clean, straight lines and geometric shilloutte. For the price I would expect much better fit and finish.

That's for the guy who also likes skeleton wrist watches.

It also looks like there are gaps between the briar and the skeleton, I think that throws it off too. I think it would look much less cheesy if the execution was better.
