that's really awesome... smoking pot is such a spiritual thing (at least for me), so it would be nice to have something so old & beautiful... i would think it'd make your high even nicer.
i like smoking out of bottles, the making of them is always fun, finding the materials is like a little adventure, and they're easy to dispose of. also, very little chance of ashing in your mouth, and if you use one for a long time, the inside gets coated with resin and little bits of weed you can smoke when you're dry.
