Calabash gourds (usually with meerschaum or porcelain bowls set inside them) have long made prized pipes, but they are labour-intensive and nowadays quite expensive.The construction of a Calabash pipe generally consists of a downward curve that ends with an upcurve where the tobacco is held. This low center of gravity allows for the user to easily hold the pipe by the mouth alone, leaving his hands free. This advantage was often used by actors who wanted to depict their character smoking while permitting them to do other business simultaneously. That is why the character Sherlock Holmes, who never used this kind of pipe in the stories, is stereotypically depicted as favoring it because early dramatic productions, especially those starring William Gillette made this artistic decision...
Simply put, because it
affords a unique smoking experience. Meerschaum is the most
flavorful and beautiful pipe you can own.
Acts as a filter,
absorbs tobacco tars and nicotine, and yields a most satisfying
smoke.
Meerschaum smokes cool and dry with a
flavor unrivaled by any other pipe.
As it ages, meerschaum colors a rich
honey-brown, improving both in appearance and taste.
Meerschaum Pipes - with a minimum of
proper care - will last for a lifetime. They will not burn out as
briars do.
