The Curl Pipe by Debbie Carlos is a stunning aesthetically pleasing smoking pipe that doubles as a piece of sculpture. Handmade in Michigan, the architectural pipe is designed with the sophisticated recreational user in mind, given that when not in use, the piece makes an apt artistic addition to any stylized space.
