Bought a little pot on eBay for about $25 with shipping (from Italy). From the research I've been able to do Myon is a French lighter brand that had a few pipes commissioned for them. Who actually made the pipes remains a mystery to me (anybody know?). As an aside, the lighters look pretty awesome in their own right:
Now, the pipe which looks like this:
... has a spiral metal stinger that I assume is removable. Has anyone used a pipe with a spiral stinger such as this and kept it in?
Also, there is what looks to be a large fill on the front. Is this purely an aesthetic problem? These pictures were taken by my wife as I haven't had the chance to hold/smoke it myself yet.
