This is my current clay pipe, I smoke it pretty regularly. Great flavor, cool enough and fun to boot. Just starting to get some nice color into it as well.
The pipe celebrates, as far as I can figure, the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons - a cavalry regiment in the British Army, first raised in 1689. It saw service for three centuries, with a final amalgamation in 1922. Most soldiers in the dragoons saw service in places like India and Egypt.
