All awesome selections, though I haven't had the viprati or jacks shanty (have an unopened tin)
Deadwood Tobacco order:
I sold a couple more items and have been talking to Paul Menard of Paul's Pipes. He is making me a squatted tomato reverse calabash with an off the wall stem. He just eMailed to that it's in the mail...... Can't wait. Pics when it arrives.
What's the difference between a calabash and a reverse calabash?
Beats me, the one I got has a huge stem and a cooling chamber turned into the stem. I have one of his RC and they smoke sooo good, cool and very tasteful
He is a good makers, this makes my 4th Paul's Pipe.
That is a really interesting pipe griz, can't wait to see it in hand
I can't say enough good things about Paul. I told him I wanted a squashed tomato, but it had to be short, under 4 1/2", big body, crazy shaped and colored stem, and a reverse calabash. If I were a pipe maker, I would have ran screaming. But you see what he did... Amazing.

A Calabash is what you might see in many Sherlock Holmes portraits, many times fashioned from a gourd, but now carved from briar as well. The bowl is a separate piece that rests inside the body of the pipe, so the burn happens in the bowl and the smoke cools and dries in the main chamber below. The reverse Calabash has a cooling chamber basically behind the bowl, in the shank and stem joint, but it's also a place to cool and deposit moisture.
