    Help Me Find a Similar Pipe

    My gourd calabash is fun to look at, but it doesn’t draw very well, and the bowl is just plain small. And I don’t mind small bowls, but such a small bowl on such a large “eventful” pipe just throws me off.

    Help Me Find a Similar Pipe

    I actually have a calabash with a removable meer bowl. Rarely smoke it. But it looks great! I’m really just interested in a briar with a calabash shape, but with a standard type bowl. I have zero desire to own a calabash with an insert that cannot be removed.

    Help Me Find a Similar Pipe

    So now I have a further Q: Are there any briars, or perhaps mahogany pipes that have this same design? I didn’t realize that was just a gourd calabash with a meerschaum insert that was sealed in by the rim. I’d love a calabash-style pipe that is one piece and a stem. Seems like it’d be...

    I’m 43. And yes. I could go buy one. I COULD. But I have 2 daughters, 3 & 7. They take up nearly every square inch of my life, & most every dollar.

    The Most Moronic Thing You’ve Ever Done

    I have lost 4 phones to “the fluids.” 1. An LG flip that I was chatting on while eating a bowl of soup. Had it pinched by my ear and shoulder. It slipped out and fell right into the soup. 2. Motorola RAZR that I dropped in the tub. 3. iPhone 4 that I dropped in the tub. 4. iPhone 6...

    The Most Moronic Thing You’ve Ever Done

    My dad wanted to buy me a 1965 Mustang for my first car at 16. I was, naturally, incredibly intelligent at 16. Went to test drive it. Told him I didn’t want it bc the brakes & steering wheel were too hard to push/turn. It didn’t have power steering or brakes, & I was like NOPE. Sooooo I got a...
