[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 584666, member: 5415"] My PAD has been out of control lately, and I've picked up quite a few pipes in the last few weeks. But one has been eluding me, and that is the gourd calabash. It seems that most available models today are made from okoume or mahogany, and I'm not sure how those would compare to the real deal. Would love to hear from anyone who has experience with okoume calabashes, and if they're a worthy substitute. Also would like to know if real gourd calabashes can still be found anywhere for modest prices (say $300 or less?). I'm guessing the answer is no, but maybe you guys know something I don't. Thanks.
