Does anyone of you know where to get a reverse calabash pipe below $80? I've been wanting to have one but online sources put them at around $100 and above. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
A more radical approach for the bones pipe.For a makeshift reverse calabash, just smoke any 9mm filter pipe without a filter.
Or get a chubby Morgan Bones and go to town with a pocket knife.
Thanks Casual, i'd look around for some savinelli dry system.I don’t have any actual advice for you. I will note that many of my actual army mount pipes act like mini-reverse calabashes. The somewhat large, irregular chamber that forms in an army mount perturbs the air and collects condensate. Probably not as much as an actual one.
So maybe you could find a Peterson or Savinelli system pipe in your budget, where the system is just a complicated reverse calabash?
I've read in some posts that they smoked drier and cooler than system pipes. That interested me so I want to try one if I could find one that fits the budget.Why do you want a reverse calabash?
Not sure if there could be more of a fad than the reverse calabash?

They're no gimmick. Most of my blends are actually too mild to smoke in my RC, so I reserve it just for flakes like PS LNF.Why do you want a reverse calabash?

They've also got a bog oak Morta with a starting bid of $45usd [free postage] if anyone's interested.Finding a decent RC at a reasonable price was not easy.
At first all I could find were a few very unattractive examples for around $100. I'm a bit of a bargain hunter so I kept searching until I found this brand new Volkan RC for auction with a starting bid of $56 including postage from Italy;

It's a very good smoker.
The seller is prestigepipe - they have two handmade RCs for auction atm; one with a starting bid at $59usd the other at $79. An opening bid should win your preference.
Either are a steal at those prices IMO.
Just noticed that the Buy It Now price on the Volkan RCs is $132usd.They've also got a bog oak Morta with a starting bid of $45usd [free postage] if anyone's interested.
P.S. Forgot to add; Those opening bids for the RC pipes, $59 & $79, include postage from Italy.
a reverse calabash isn't going to do more than good smoking practices will.
