A-Ho-YA!

That's a nice pipe! Those spirals call to my Celtic side, old rock art from the the British isles...and everywhere else too. The Japanese guy reads right along with the spiral as a stone glyph. Nice.

I think u might lose the lower lip on that Marq. face and straighten the middle line making it a straight lower lip. It's great as is though, I know it's gonna give u some good smokes.

Damiana is a Chinese smoking tea that's commonly found at oriental markets, great smoke! Kinik kinik is the best though, mmm red willow. That pic. u posted shows some woodland looking warriors by the hair cuts. As a Mohawk descendant I got my first couplah "Mohawks" this yr. Heh heh.

I think I'm gonna have me a smoke right now. Sweet pipe Kola!

Ya-Hey!!

Thanks Sneaky!
You're right about the lower lip. I knew I wasn't going to have enough room for the tongue AND the lip, but I just hoped it would work. Unfortunately it didn't. Somehow I think my pic makes it look worse than it actually is though. It's the lighting I tells ya! :)

The main thing is that the pipe should perform its function well. I really don't want to take up smoking however, so stop tempting me! I felt like this when I read Lord of the Rings and everytime Gandalf or one of the hobbits lit up, Tolkien waxed poetical describing the pleasures of smoking. It sounded sooooo nice! But no! I shall not! Get thee behind me Satan! :lol:

You're also correct about that picture depicting Woodland Indians. It's by artist Robert Griffing. He specialises in painting scenes from north-eastern America's early history, particularly the Iroquois nation. He's an amazing artist.

I've had a couple of mohawk-style haircuts in the recent past (I'm too lazy now. I just shave it all off). Although I can't claim any Native American family history, there was that bog-body found in Ireland (Clonycavan man) that sported a mohawk-style hair-do. I guess I can claim him!

Enjoy your smoke!
