You've all finally said what I've thought about a lot of other high priced pipes over the years. Not only is it ugly and impractical, but IMNSHO, anyone who may buy it is a fool, since as its been said, A fool and his money are soon parted..
I'm not smoking pipes to reassert my manhood but that pipe just strikes me as ugly on all levels. It belongs in some viking b movie from times gone by.
