Thank you all for solid answers to my queries.
Scottie, no worries about me being offended
was a good solid answer you gave. For the record, my Mrs. doesn't like pink either. For her I think its more about "graceful lines and proportions" i.e. doesn't want to look like "she's holding a bowling ball".
Monbla, your correct about her not going out with pipe clenched in teeth and the churchwarden suggestion is a good one I think since she was drawn to some of the Kiseru which are slim and longer.
Dire, that's the first calabash Ive seen that really resonated with me. Don't know about the Mrs. but I like it. Thanks for posting pics.

"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."
I'd say that inherently depraved is fitting.
The use of the word "none" seems fairly all inclusive to me, so I'm thinking your in good company Richard.
Lesath, those are some very astute observations. Definitely got me thinking about points I hadn't considered. Thank you.
DnB, thanks for suggesting Scotties 2014 BoB POY. Would definitely be trying to get one if I had the shekels to swing it. Wonderful looking pipes. Also
"This is exactly why I always smoke my small pipes in my birthday suit.
Don't want to confuse the neighbors." WAY WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION! I'll be repeatedly bashing my skull with large magnet now in attempt to erase that mental image, thank you. :afro:
