Kids used to make ashtrays for their parents, why not decorate a pipe?!
Then again, you could end up smoking from a pink princess pipe.

I've debated getting one too, but I'm not sure how often I'd use them. ...I know that the bowls get extremely hot, so you have to hold it by the stem... Definitely. I never experienced them being a cool smoke as some have suggested. I prefer meerschaum. |

(http://historymyths.wordpress.com/?s=pipes) gives this explanation:
While attending a conference for museum professionals in Annapolis, MD, recently, I learned something new about broken pipe stems from Tony Lindauer, Anne Arundel County archaeologist. Men did sometimes break off the tip of the pipe stem, although certainly not for sanitary reasons. Tony explained that as the hot, tar-filled tobacco smoke is sucked up the stem, it cools a little, and when it gets to the moist mouth, it cools significantly and solidifies. Soon a deposit of tar builds up inside the pipe stem near the mouth, blocking the bore. So a smoker might, indeed, need to break off an inch or so of the clogged tip to continue smoking.”. . . and that’s why archaeologists find so many bits of broken pipe stems in so many excavations.” I am good with either theory or hypothesis which is just a quess so unless we find somebody that was sitting around a tavern 200 years ago we will never know.

Any of you folks tried the "Old German" clay pipes from P&C? Considering getting a couple to try. Thoughts?
They are great. If they actually arrived, aren't missing or back-ordered. I use these with the strongest cake blends. Taste great.

I bought one a few weeks ago and have been using it fairly regularly. It usually ends up being the pipe I grab when I don't know how long I'll be smoking for, since it has a smallish bowl.
After some rubber tubing and a little flattening of the stem, she's a dream to clench.
The bowl does get a little hotter but that's really not a big deal for me because I don't walk around with my pipe in my hand usually. So if I do have to hold it carefully, it's only for a couple seconds.
Also, it was cheap as sin, and it never gurgles, so it's already less annoying than briar.
Really my only complaint is that it's a straight pipe.
