I do love great design and art and I just stumbled upon the pipes of Tsuge Ikebana. Just as pieces of art, these are beautiful and I doubt I'd ever actually smoke one (at those prices) but I sure as hell would have it displayed!

Only $3000 for this one:

And $1900 for this one:

Those are Beautiful pieces of artwork! nice! My pop has a bunch of pipes! I bet he has alot of antique ones. I may have to rummage through his collection since he doesn't smoke them. I don't smoke them neither but I'd just like to know what kind he has.

I saw one on eBay for 16000 there is a thread about it

For those ultra high grades the line between smoker and collector is clearer, although there are a few collector-smokers.
I'd love to have the scratch to smoke ultra high grades, but who wouldn't like to be in that position?
