Ok, I lied!

Many have seen I have quite a few Calabash pipes, some classic gourd body with removable Meerschaum bowl, some not so classical with the body being made with something other than gourd but with removable bowl which is of a different material than Meerschaum.

The next 3 JT Cooke pipes are the classic Calabash shape but the bowl is part of the pipe.

First up is this near wine colored body with the Cooke craggy blast and a amber colored stem. Keeping it smokey with some Esoterica Tilbury.

Yup, his blasts are definitely one of a kind. I do prefer his style/work over an Eltang. I find the Calabash style pipes look nice but don't smoke as cool as a Calabash with a removable bowl.
Banjo, what's your opinion, thanks.



KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Lonecoyote it smokes like any other briar pipe so you are correct the coolness of the smoke is not what you get from a real Calabash.
