"The worlds first all plastic pipe".
Oh boy. :roll:
Apparently the first of these has sold for $800. I'm actually a bit speechless. There's a sucker born every minute though.

Sharp colours, groovy. 8)

Thats crazy, I could see 19.99 for one...and ait theres more, if you call in the next 20 minutes Ill double your order. But 800 bucks, F-That

 

[gnatjulio]

Pretty pipe. No freaking way is it worth $800 bucks. $20 to $30 sounds good. Might be cool hand out for a bachelor party of something.

 

[joshwolftree]

hmmm I think I stick with wood, or corn, easily renewable, looks sexy(or at least manly and rugged in the case of corncobs

I wonder how the melting plastic fumes go with a good cognac....

 

[foggymountain]

Nice colors, what keeps it from burning or melting? Plastic fumes are toxic. And of course $800 is absurd.

 

[mp31guitar]

They have a briar insert in the bowl. Not for me.

Plastic didn't make good pipes in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. If it did, "The Pipe" or the Hilson "Fantasia" would still be around. I doubt it will catch on again.

Well they are recyclable; never thought of doing that with my pipes. Maybe I should think of recycling my 40 to 50 year old briars? Umm, I don't think so.
