Wow, nice pipe. It's unusual to find them in such great shape. Congrats.
I think it may be an Indian artifact pipe. Maybe 500-1000 years old? I'm not as up on things of that nature as arrowheads.

And yes it is smokin'!

I think they used to sell molds for them . They where kind disposable and you would cut your own stem.. Heres some I found around our farm in Southern Illinois..
