Haven’t bought a pipe for a long time. However…
I bought a “tentacle” pipe made by the talented Abdul Karim of Indonesia.
I also bought a calabash with three bowls from him, which I have gifted to someone, plus this “mermaid” pipe.
Abdul karim’s pipes remind me of Ian Walker’s “sea urchin” – do a search on this blog for a post on Ian Walker.
In the Netherlands I bought a meerschaum pipe, as well as a pipe made from olive wood plus this one by Kristijan Pavic of East Berlin.
Oh and one more by Abdul Karim is on the way. He calls this “ballerina.”
