Um, Interesting Pipe

[Cloozoe]

Lots of pipes are not my cup of joe but I don't disdain them or those to whom they appeal.

But notwithstanding à chacun son goût, I found myself wondering about the appeal of this one:



Not a cheap pipe, either; I can almost hear the SP description: "Whimsical yet elegant, the flowing lines of the robust base segué seemlessly into the elegant trumpet-like bowl whose forward cant provides the entire composition with an irresistible forward propulsion..."

Looks like something a Smurf would smoke.

Going to venture to assume that it probably isn't a clencher. A club if the occasion arises, but definitely not a clencher.

Smoked once ………….. by each clown in the Volkswagen.

Looks like an elementary school art project.

Looks like something a Smurf would smoke.

That's the 1st thing that crossed my mind as well. Looks like something Papa Smurf would sit down with after a day of Brainy Smurf's BS.

Ask price is probably something like $1,500.

Definitely not a fan but I can appreciate the work it would take to shape and and finish the pipe.

If you absolutely positively must smoke magic mushrooms in your pipe, this is the pipe for you; accept no substitutes.

Agreed, looks like it fell out of Gargamel’s trick bag.

Let's see, a five piece stem. Very difficult to puzzle those together. The spots appear to be inserts and the rim looks like a resin or stabilized polymer cap. Overall I'd say not bad though a bit wild and imaginative. Still better than a bulldog or a rhodesian. How much is it?

I do not want to smoke that pipe, I will not smoke it in the night, I will not smoke it the rain, for that pipe I have great disdain.

I would not smoke it in my house, I would not smoke it with a grouse.

I cannot smoke it with any joy, I shall not use it as a toy.

I will not put it my hand, I will not smoke it with the band.

I do not like that pipe I say, and I will not like it any day.

Came here to post this if no one else did.

Scott and Abe: yeah, those are certainly fugly, but they're (relatively) cheap, they're deliberately made as novelty items, and they lack that certain je ne sais quoi that elevates the one I posted to the very summit of fugliness; the apotheosis of hideous; a true anti-achievement...awful pipe entelechy.

I've never seen an ocarina with tumors before.

 

[WhiteCrown]

Clearly they are doing yet another remake of Alice in Wonderland, live action with a hipster twist. Hookahs are out, pipes are in, and this one is the caterpillar's. I bet this alone cost as much as their entire skinny-jean budget.

Y'all were pretty close with the Smurfs though.

That author came to mind as well
