The Calabash Pipe<br />
These are, in our view, the prettiest, the best-balanced and most true to the original<br />
Calabash pipes ever created from briarwood. This excellent shaping was possible<br />
only thanks to a special drilling method that allows to carve the smokehole as<br />
a curve exactly following the outline of the pipe stem (see sketch on page 36).<br />

Calabash<br />
Among today’s pipes<br />
Another Calabash<br />
the Calabash may well<br />
pipe and a proper<br />
seem like a dinosaur. This<br />
Calabash pipe stand<br />
sweepingly bent smoking<br />
is sown on the pre-<br />
tool has its origin in Southvious<br />
page 148.<br />
ern Africa. Before Dutch and<br />
English started to settle here,<br />
native tribes grew a species of<br />
hard-shelled gourd with from<br />
which they crafted all sorts of<br />
household dishes and storage<br />
containers. As European traders<br />
discovered this area, they brought<br />
along their tobacco and introduced<br />
smoking to the natives who found<br />
the gourd to be very useful to make<br />
their own smoking pipes. To stop the<br />
shell from burning they covered the<br />
inside with clay and fit a plant stem in<br />
as mouthpiece. These pipes found their<br />
way back to Europe where shape and<br />
also function were refined to meet the<br />
upper classes’ high demands. The modern<br />
Calabash pipe had its prime time at the end<br />
of the 19th century. Naturally grown gourd is<br />
still taken for the pipe’s body, but now the top is<br />
made of Meerschaum, designed to be removed for<br />
cleaning the gourd. Mouthpieces were made of real<br />
amber, later ambroid (pressed amber) or even ebonite.<br />
Today’s mouthpieces are made of amber-coloured resin.<br />
