I have always been interested in gourd calabash and meerschaum pipes. How do they smoke and is there much difference between them and briar pipes? I saw chuckw picture of his and had to ask.

Surfmac, I like meerschaum pipes, but find they smoke a lot like briar. My calabash now, that's a different story. It's one of the most enjoyable pipes I own. If I have the right place to smoke it. No gurgle, and never gets hot in your hand. It does flavor the smoke a little, depending on what you've been smoking previously, but it's not objectionable.
You have to pack it right though, or you'll block up the air hole.

Max, great looking pipe. I hear 'bashes don't need any rest. Now go find a nice cushy armchair and relax with it.
Very cool finish on that pipe Phil!
Just snagged an Estate Bunhill Bruyere 6103 off Ebay. Pics when it arrives.

Dudley saw it coming in my LaRocca post.
Figured I ought to have at least one "good" pipe right?
And this makes a nice first choice as a companion to my cobs.
Hard to find. I got the last one @ 4noggins for $57. I tried to convince myself that the rustic finish was good enough. But I couldn't. The smooth just got me in the gut. Been doing a lot of browsing and this is the first pipe that I really loved.
