Dear God, What is that Thing?

It and this one are sitting in my cart as a debate for which one to get for my upcoming 50th birthday.

They are too different to compare...you're just going to have to get both.

The second one is kinda cool! The other one makes me think some poor emu zombie is missing its prosthetic leg.

I've already got a lot of money invested in that day, so only one.

That's the thing about subjectivity. I'd still take it over a Dunhill or Castello.

I found this lurking in the shadows on ebay.

Did Erik Nørding drop acid or something?

Are we certain Picasso NEVER carved a pipe or 2?

Looks like a cross between a pipe, and a tool for removing your wellington boots.

Hope you make the right choice! Funny, the left lower face looks like a burl you might see with Oak or other hard woods. I am sure it's not!

Looks more like a sex toy than a pipe. Certainly there'd be a more favorable place than eBay to sell such a thing, and one where the buyer wouldn't be hassled to provide feedback on the item...

You must've known some talented ladies.

Depends what you mean by "known."

Meanwhile, I actually kind of like it, and I generally dislike non-traditional freehand stuff. Now I kind of want a Lovecraftian nightmare pipe.

Next time I have money, I might try to commission this kind of insanity. Something that looks like a pipe that Ommadon would use or that King Haggard might have in his castle. Need me a liminal void, dark fantasy horror pipe now.

It seem to me that I recall seeing these pipes depicted in images in Dante's Inferno.
