The removable bowl and cooling chamber are both block meerschaum. The "gourd" is just stained.
That is quite interesting, especially from a construction stand point, that cant be easy to make.
I myself would have concerns over it's fragility (unless it's really heavily walled), but I also tend to be a little rough on meer for some reason, Iv'e broken a few unfortunately.

Did you buy it??????

Beautiful to look at but I'm terrified that I'd look really stupid holding one. I need to work on my self confidence.

So try as I might, this pipe will only last between 25 and 30 minutes. Definitely a display only piece.

Wow. The gourd is pretty convincing in the picture. Can’t believe it’s meer. Can you get a larger bowl insert? Otherwise you might have to die cut plugs of tobacco to fit the chamber. That would last a bit longer, ?.

Seems like I've gotten some surprisingly longer smokes out of small chambers with flake, coin, plug, and rope cuts. Tried to catch a smoke one concert intermission in a mini-cob. I had to let that thing go out and smoke the rest hiking back to the car, seemed like forty minutes or more. It felt like a practical joke on myself, like the birthday candles that won't go out.
