Heheh. This would never be a pipe for everyone.
Hell, IF I had the money for it, I dont know that it would ever get smoked.
Theres lots of "art" pipes out there I wouldnt care for. But damn, the excution here is immaculate. From the overall creativity, to the functionality, to every detail of the art itself ; the spear tip to the wood of the spear, to the fletching on the moutpiece, the ocean floor, the tentacles of the beast, its all marvelously done.
And the colors of the stain for the sea monster, they are impeccable and beautiful.
Sure, not for everyone !
But to my eye, the creativity + the flawless execution + the functionality make this one outstanding piece!
