Been off the grid for a few days with balance problems things will get better after my perfusion on Tuesday.
Still off balance but wanted to have a light smoke so I filled the Altinok-Davorin collaboration Calabash (the gourd portion and stem were made by Davorin using 8500 y/o Morta and the intricate Meerschaum bowl was made by Altinok) with 965 and keeping it smokey.

Yep, the Schnozzola himself. There was loads of speculation over who Mrs. Calabash was. Jimmy worked with fellow comic Sonny King who said it was Mrs. Durante who was ill and in Calabasas CA and he continued saying it after her death, he was a great comedian. I think his nose may have been larger than this pipe!

Stunning! Big, impressive, fancy... wow. Do you mind me asking the finished cost for a work of art like that, morta and the intricate meerschaum carving I love? (I always associate that style of carving with Sevket, who, if he didn't create it, I think perfected it).

Wow, banjo, what a beauty! I hope it helps you restore your healthy relationship to gravity.

Balance issues can lay you OUT!

Full to the brim too! I love that. No worries about rim stains or char. Go for it brother.

Nothing like a beautiful man smoking a beautiful pipe. The two of you are a perfect match.
