SPC's saying it's gourd. I'm calling them in the morning to see what's what.I've never cottoned to a wooden calabash. By God, it's gourd or it ain't a true cal!
Or buy them just to look at when they're that small.Oh, that's right, you're s'posed to smoke them with the white thing on! ?
the whole thing?It's meerschaum.

The removable bowl and cooling chamber are both block meerschaum. The "gourd" is just stained.Obviously, only the bowl is meerschaum. Pressed? Unknown until someone possesses it and reports.
Cooling Chamber is meerschaum? I've seen a few of these, and the cooling chamber was just the inside of that thin gourd. The only thing meerschaum was the bowl plate on top which has the smoking chamber built into it.cooling chamber
Yep.Cooling Chamber is meerschaum

"While many marques choose to form the internal chamber from easier-to-manage wood, we come across more traditional compositions from time to time which utilize meerschaum. Suffice to say, this gorgeous interpretation from AKB falls into the latter camp."
