I thought he wooden object was 1800`s sexual aid!
You ought to be ashamed off yourself! But I forgive you since you didn't know any better.
The pipe rack actually has some religious connotations behind it. The base is a small square of olive wood and the stand-offs that hold the pipes are small spikes, somewhat reminiscent of those I picture having been used in the Crucifixion. My Dad bought it many years ago when he was in the US Navy on a cruise to the Mediterranean/Middle East.
Larry and I have had some pretty heated discussions here and elsewhere. It's not an "olive branch" per se, but the thought is the same. Enjoy it and the cigars, Larry!
