i have a BBB calabas dating to 1919. the bowl is black. in the book THE CALABASH PIPE by Gary Schrier this might be one of those asbestos bowled calabashes. I had a new meerschaum bowl made for it and i have smoked it twice. the question is, should i continue smoking this? I am not positive the old bowl is asbestos, but i figured why take the chance? Does anyone know how i can be sure? If the original bowl is asbestos does that mean the pipe should NEVER be smoked? it would be a shame if this pipe is poisonous as it is very small and very nice. Any help on this would be appreciated. :farao: :?:
