I strongly agree. The Dracula is just marketing a cool name, and the stem itself looks really lame. If you are going to go for a gimmick, at least do it well. Imagine if they had opted for something closer to this glass pipe but with acrylic:The Dracula and Jekyl 'n Hide lines both scream gimmick to me. Especcially J&H with it's dual finish. Peterson have some great pipes, and I did enjoy the look of a number of the Christmas and St. Patrick's day pipes, but sometimes it feels like walking into a Walmart come any holiday season.
