[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 40753, member: 29"] I have been wanting to get a Calabash for a long time just to try one out and see how they smoke. Our own Grant Gipper had a large Altinok Mahogany Calabash on Ebay and I was lucky enough to win it at an excellent price. Several things surprised me that I was not expecting. It is a large pipe that fits great in the hand and not that uncomfortable to clinch for such a large pipe. I am kind of surprised (not complaining) that for such a large meerschaum bowl they do not hold that much tobacco compared to a pipe of similar size. About two pinches is it. The other thing that really surprised me is what a cool dry smoke it is. I have heard others talk about this but it just never clicked until trying mine out. I'm really enjoying this pipe. Thanks for such a great deal Grant, not to mention the fast shipment. [/QUOTE]
