Yes, on p. 185, Artie Cognomen smokes "a pipe with a bowl carved in the
shape of Winston Churchill's head, complete with cigar."
Now, I've heard of Churchill on toby jugs, but not on a pipe ... except,
of course:
"[...] a reproduction in brier of Winston Churchill's head for a bowl,
no detail is spared, even a cigar in its mouth with a little hole
drilled down it so that some of the smoke can actually seep out the
end... (GR, pp. 707-8).
