Ebay! Hah just a lucky find that I just couldn't refuse for the price. I'm still debating whether I should actually spark a bowl in it...I always go through this when I find a beauty of a pipe.
Oh yes, smoke it. I bet it will improve with coloration. But I have been there too, not wanting to smoke something so beautiful. You have to figure though, it was made to be smoked. Do it! :evil:
