Probably a ceremonial pipe Kevin, only used on special occasions. You better smoke a Gurkha Black Dragon to do it justice. Last I checked they were 1K each.

I have a hard time spending over $5000 for something I CAN shoot ! Matter of fact I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve spent over that amount for a gun .

Daryl - the closest I will get to the Gurkha Black Dragon is my standard issue British army Gurkha shorts, which you have seen me wear many times at high-humidity events like the Spring Southern SxS and the Vintagers at Pintail Point. One of the few garments that are wider at the knees than at the shoulder, they are great for swatting mosquitoes as you walk from station to station. As always, I will stick to my all time favorite, the Arturo Fuentes Double Chateau Sun Grown, hard to get and pricey, but worth the cost primarily because we deserve no less on the shooting grounds and at the tent displays. When we can finally get together and shoot again we will be smoking them at random -"No Jacket Required", so to speak. We've earned it!

I get that same feeling looking at my truck or a gun, fishing reel, boat or even a shopping cart. It just whelms over me. Maybe the penultimate would be to stick the Black Dragon in the tomahawk and smoke that.
