[QUOTE="the macdonald, post: 85644, member: 419"] I don't have B-C calabash, but I am sure they are quality. I'd almost say skip it, unless there is a particular piece that is "the one," and keep a close watch on eBay. There are a few nice good condition gourds there everyday and for much less that the $175. In my humble opinion, calabashes are a lot more about materials than workmanship. The gourd is natural, and the bowls are pretty standard. There is not a lot to them, it's really the design that makes them smoke nicely, not hours of expert carving and engineering as in a meer or briar. I have a couple "no names" that are wonderful smokers and if I remember correctly none of them were over $50. [/QUOTE]
