Unique to the point of eccentricity; just like me! I absolutely love the museum art pipes. Gotta say that snail with the sideways bent stem is my favorite. The whale is a close second, I guess I like Cherepanov. The dude's only been making 'tubes' (as he calls them; hey, English is his second language) since 2008, and I understand most of his rounded shapes still balance on a flat surface. You can get the less fancy ones for $200, too. I'd rather have one of those than any Dunhill. Outstanding; thanks for sharing
