I'm a bit mystified why there aren't more exemplars of tiki-themed smoking pipes (for this thread's purposes, tobacco-specific) floating around out there. Perhaps it's because the subject of smoking has attracted the politically-correct attentions & efforts of the social busybodies who wish to dispense or withhold their approval of any & all behaviors. The only readily-available tiki pipe I could find online is this fine meerschaum "Olmec Tiki" available here...

Here's another meerschaum carved by Bekler that turned up on eBay a while back.

This is an especially nice traditional briar pipe in an authentic design (no info on the carver or origin).

Another traditional in a Maori style.

Canadian carver Stephen Downie created this beauty...

Tikiphile stalwarts Coco Joe produced this accessory.

And here's a contemporary pipe holder exhibited by "Tom's Tikis" via christianpipesmokers.net.

And on the subject, let us not forget the "pipe smoker tiki."

If you have any figural tiki pipes, or images of same, please share them. I have a couple commissions in the works that I look forward to posting here once they're done.
