I've read that a lot of folks use their gourd calabashes to tame those blends that bite because of the cool smoking nature and absorbency of the gourd, switching from all sorts of blends from VA's to aros to lats I was wondering what kind of ghosting affects are experienced due to the fact that the gourd does seem to be so absorbent. I recently purchased one and love how it smokes. It's only been used for VA's and I want to try other types of tobaccos but I feel like it would ghost even more than briar.
