Very nice piece. Nothing wrong with spending the extra buck for something special.

Personally, I wouldn't smoke salvia in that pipe. Use it for weed and just get something cheap for salvia. I find salvia tastes bad and it taints the pipe with a nasty taste, and herb is never the same.

I just bought a cheap $1 wooden pipe at the headshop here for salvia and salvia only, but that's just me.
