@condorlover1 asked me about the pipe in my avatar in a separate thread, so I thought I'd post here the pics from the ebay listing where I got it from:
It's about 8 inches end to end. No fills as far as I can tell. All in all, a pretty extraordinary unit. The most extraordinary thing about it is probably where it's from and the price. It's an HS Studio, made in China by an anonymous artisan, clearly very talented. And it cost me a little over a C note. I haven't smoked it yet and, frankly, I'm not sure if I ever will. These days I take days to smoke a bowl and my preference is for small pipes. But there's something about big pipes that I find attractive and this one was so unusual that I just had to have it. And so I got it.
