How About a Calabash?!!!

[topd]

Nothing like a Calabash when I'm piled-up in my chair for the evening!

The upper one has a pressed meerschaum bowl, and the lower one has a real block,

but both have an African Gourd body.

My Favorite! Made by Mr. Fikri Baki in Turkey.

I actually just got a a real gourd calabash made by pioneer this weekend. It truly is a great smoke

The meer is still too white...
You've got more smoking and waxing to do!
Beautiful pieces for sure. I hope someone starts making calabash pipes again ...

I agree nothing beet a fine wine and a good draw on a calibash sitting on my front portch watching the world go by.

Very nice Baki !

@Spartan... Mr. Baki is still making calabash pipes. Deniz Ural imports them

from Turkey and runs his site from Florida. He only has 'Old World' style pipes

up on his site right now, but puts up the New Style when he has them.

(I bought the meer pipe #BC 7 and am waiting for it's delivery).
