CIA Concealed Radio Pipe

Thought this was an interesting piece of tobaccocana.
Taken from the online CIA museum.

But what I want to know is, how does it smoke? Or is it just a wall jaw hanger?

How was the draft on that one?

wild stuff.. There's no telling what they have going these days.

Drones the size of flies, that hang out at your family cookout?

That is the coolest goddamn thing I have ever seen.

Some guys complain about chatter 'on' the stem, this one picks up chatter 'through' the stem.

I just finished reading "The Company" (Robert Littleton), great book about the CIA spanning the late 40's to the 1990's. Several of the characters are pipe smokers, but they never mention the radio pipe. We have "The Spy Museum" here in DC. It's supposed to be very good. Everytime we go to DC (not that often), the line is so long we bail.

AM? FM? How do you change the channel? I hate earbuds, but this might be a nice way to listen to music while walking the dog.

Great song selection for that post, ha ha!

And or course there are very few dumb questions...<g>!

A lot of fascinating things to see in DC.
The online exhibits are an interesting stroll, and there are no lines.

FYI, the screen shot resolution doesn’t show it clearly but the stamping reads:
Algerian Briar

I wonder who turned the custom stem for this project?

Looks like it might fail the standard pipe cleaner test.

I wonder if any of the agents got finicky about what blend they were issued. Now it would probably be seen as too conspicuous, like, who smokes pipes?

Those would be some bored-assed drones and liable to get squished or sprayed. Boom. Hundred thousand dollars of taxpayer money - gone

I'd be spooked Putin that in my mouth! (Smiley face.) Might go well with some Blackford Oakes Flake, though.

They have the money machine, man. They spend $30,000 per roll of TP.. Uncle Sam's pockets go deep.

Just printing it out of thin air, anymore. Hell, I was figuring, since they're just printing money for giggles anymore, I should ask them to print me $10 million. It would sure help around my house

Based on the title, I wasn't sure if the pipe was concealed, or the radio was concealed. I was picturing a radio with a hidden pipe. "Crxhshshs Roger that! (Puff puff) I'm on it!"

Don’t put words in my mouth.
