Yeah, one uses this to smoke flower, but damn, you don't want to. It is an incredibly unique piece, unlike any pipe you'll ever see. My wife didn't know what it was at first, she was too busy admiring the art of it (smooth ceramics, one piece). Once I told her what it was, her eyes lit up. We haven't used it yet -- again, like many say, you almost don't want to given its beauty, but we'll get around to it. If you want to blow someone away with something that is a gorgeously made, functional piece, you won't be disappointed with the Demi Pipe. Yeah, it's pricey, but well worth it.

Lovely piece of design.

I was able to remove the jarring black initials on its bottom with some sanding. Now it looks great displayed as a dome.
