Llama Glama
Categories: pipes
Although there are a great variety of pipes to be found throughout every section of our website I find that the estate department has the most abundant collection of inimitable pieces at Smokingpipes.com (from an artistic point of view - of course). For example, here is a sculpture of an animal. Initially I thought it was a llama or a doe of the deer species. Turns out I was correct - it is a llama head meerschaum! Updated to the website on Thursday, the pipe was sold Friday morning.
Adam said, “For those who already have everything, throw a llama head meerschaum on their plate." Someone now has a full plate!

I am sure there will be other unique pipes in future updates. In the meantime enjoy the "Llama Head".

Re: Llama Glama
The Llama head was a failed experiment in 2002 when Smokingpipes.com imported Gulel Meerschaums. It was my brilliant idea. Not knowing what llamas really looked like, the Gulel guys carved it to look like a weird camel/deer hybrid. It is a limited edition of sorts. Only four or five were made. I'd like to think it was a purposeful limited edition, but really it's because no one wanted a cross between a deer and a camel, called a llama.
