[QUOTE="Dakki, post: 148528, member: 1215"] Okay, so I'm looking at getting a second pipe, and I've always been intrigued by calabashes, but I really don't know anything about them. Here's a couple of questions: Do these come in a variety of sizes? What kind of capacity do they have? I was under the impression that these were traditionally made from a gourd of some sort but I've seen pictures of them that appear to be briar. Is there any advantage to either type? I understand these usually have a meerschaum lining. Does that mean you don't need to rest them like traditional briar? This would be a big plus for me. What should I look for in a calabash? Are there particular makes/types that I should seek or avoid? [/QUOTE]
