Almost There...

A while back I had a "Carnac Moment" and made a prediction what pipe stems would eventually look like given the direction they were headed ---







Came across this a minute ago. (It's an actual for-sale production item, not a photoshop prank.) ---






Looks like dots and embedded glitter are all that's left.

You beat me to the Mardi Gras comment.

I know a few pipe smokers that would buy a pipe with a Mardi Gras stem if the pipe itself was well made and the shape was one they liked.

Buy a crappy-enough old vulcanite stem and the glitter's free!

I enjoy traditional black pipe stems, along with wacky, festive ones. Considering the red, white, and blue Savinelli stem is part of their Commedia dell’Arte series and this pipe is inspired by the Colombina/Columbine character, it seems quite fitting:



If there was a pipe made with the stem you came up with, I’d be interested.

Georged, that’s a masterpiece

 

[sablebrush52]

I kinda like the Basquiat stem.

 

[Sobrbiker]

I’d like to see more quality vulcanite stems

Variety is the spice of life. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Black pipe, blue pipe, red stem, green stem, so said Dr Seuss.

I like a classic shape with a black stem, I also like weird pipes and colorful stems.

Yes to a Mardi Gras pipe.
