"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.

If you're pondering the output of tobacco pipe carvers I'd guess the level of Tiki images is probably about that same as it is in any craft.

Personal interests of the carvers aside there might be a lack of demand for Tiki tobacco pipes even among that minute fraction who happen to like both Tiki and tobacco pipes. I'm one of those people and though I think the Tiki tobacco pipes posted here are really swell (I Facebook LIKED your original post!) I don't have any desire for a Tiki tobacco pipe. I tend not to mix my interests like that. I like western boots but don't want a pair with Tiki designs. (Still, if someone said "Hey! I got these size 12 Rocketbuster Tiki boots I don't ever wear, you want em?" I'd without hesitation say "Yes, please.")

PS:

I'd guess those to be Tiki mugs in that mural.
