Since tobacco is native to the Americas, a figural tobacco pipe of this subject makes rather more sense than one of, say, a Viking. This would also be one of the very good reasons why you won't find a lot of wooden statues of Leif Erikson lookalikes standing around old tobacco shops. Intricately carved, this AKB offering features a grinning skull wearing an ornate, feather headdress and a fiery, amber-hued acrylic stem.
