I. WANT. THAT. PIPE.

In my pre-caffeinated haze I swear I thought the title said "Airship Pie".

It's an awesome pipe, but I have to confess to being a little disappointed. ^_^

I made you a pie, but it floated away. :-(

[dave_iii]

And yet, it was an awesome pie. Because it could float away.

And so, further evidence that life is good. ^_^

That pipe is spiffy! Meerschaum pipes (even elaborately carved ones) are often availably at the local smoke shop for a very reasonable price, but I've never seen one with brass, or blimps. More usual mass-market designs are Turk's heads and lion's heads and such.
One thing to know - meerschaum is a porous stone. If you use it for actual smoking (as my dad did), the pipe will gradually darken as it accumulates tars and resins from the tobacco. A Google image search for "Meerschaum pipe" will show you the effect.

This is the most beautiful object I have seen recently.
