Hey dude, thats a beautifull pipe. When I got my 1st bong I went with function and durability over esthetics. A word of avice: Clean it out every day with isopropyl alcohol so that the gunge from the ganja doesn't build-up and make sure that you always have fresh screens on hand. Nothing bums-out a toker like a hit from a dirty bong with a clogged screen. Let us know how the maiden voyage turns out!
P.S. May I suggest some primo potdust for the occation.
