I'm planning to buy my first nice meer sometime soon. I know exactly what I want. A figural of a pirate with a skull in his hat and an inscrutable expression on his face - but that's about all I know. What do you guys who know more than me think about this pipe?:

I've already sent a message to ask how the stem attaches (I want a push/pull tenon) and to see if they can send me some pics of the interior of the chamber. Can you think of anything else I need to know? Have any of you guys ordered from these folks before?
